About the .LU domain
What is the .LU domain?
Any individual or legal entity in the world can register a .lu domain, with no residency or nationality requirements. A notable feature: since February 1, 2010, not even the domain's administrative contact needs to be located in Luxembourg, removing the last vestige of local requirement the extension maintained. The registry supports internationalized domain names (IDN) with special characters, and the entire process — from checking availability to registration, transfer, renewal, or deletion — can be managed online through the my.lu platform.
