About the .HAMBURG domain

What is the .HAMBURG domain?

The .hamburg is the geographic generic top-level domain (geoTLD) for the German city-state of Hamburg, delegated to the root zone on June 2, 2014, and managed by Hamburg Top-Level-Domain GmbH, based in Hamburg itself.

Registration is restricted to natural or legal persons and associations who can demonstrate an economic, cultural, historical, social, or other connection to the Hamburg metropolitan area. Acceptable proof of this connection includes, among others: residence or second home in the area, an office, branch, or permanent establishment in the area, a WHOIS contact domiciled there, or other alternative proof such as an employer certificate, school or university enrollment, or birth certificate. The domain must be put into effective use within 12 months of registration. For those without their own address in Hamburg, a trustee or local intermediary service is available, often included in the domain's price itself, allowing the local-connection requirement to be met. The registry supports registration periods of 1 to 10 years, with names between 1 and 63 alphanumeric characters and hyphens (with hyphen position restrictions).
