AN EXCLUSIVE
1 OR 2 CHARACTER DOMAIN

The 1 and 2-character domains are very short, designed to identify a brand or project in a very concise and memorable way. They are considered premium domains because they are limited edition.

Being so short and exclusive, they have a higher sale and renewal price than a conventional domain. In addition, not just anyone can register them: you have to submit an application justifying the project and intended use, which must be approved.

If you are interested in registering a short domain, check the conditions and submit your application.

.cat domain names support:

• The letters of the Catalan alphabet, including the specific characters: à, ç, è, é, í, ï, l·l, ò, ó, ú, ü.
• Digits from 0 to 9.
• Hyphens, with some exceptions: they cannot go at the beginning or the end of the domain, nor can two consecutive hyphens be used.

In addition, you should bear in mind that:

• The name can have a maximum of 63 characters.
• Domains are not case-sensitive, so they work the same in any case. Even so, it is recommended to always write them in lowercase.

Yes, any available .cat domain name can be registered. However, there are some exceptions:

Reserved names: ICANN reserves the names of states and certain territories. In addition, given the cultural nature of the .cat domain, we also have reserved the names of some writers and bodies linked to the Catalan language and culture.

Defensive domains: created to protect commercial trademarks or intellectual property. They are not intended for active use and can only be registered by trademark holders.

1 and 2-character domains: considered premium because they are limited edition, they have a higher sale and renewal price. To register one, you must submit an application with the project and intended use, which must be approved.

If you do not know any registrar, we recommend that you first establish your needs and priorities. For example: do you want email or hosting included with the domain? Do you need 24x7 support? Do you prefer to be served in Catalan?

Once you are clear on this, use the comparison to filter and compare the registrars' offers according to your criteria. In addition, you can now select up to 3 registrars at once to compare them directly and choose the one that best suits your needs.
