Frequently asked questions about .cat

What is .cat?

+
.cat is a domain extension (TLD) you can use to give your brand a more targeted identity. It works normally for websites, email and redirects, like any modern domain.

Who can register .cat domains?

+
In most cases registration is open to everyone. If the registry has specific rules, they apply to all registrars and we follow them in the process.

How much does registration/renewal/transfer cost?

+
Prices are shown separately in the page table. If a name is designated Premium by the registry, it may have different pricing from standard.

Can I renew after expiry?

+
Yes, there is usually a grace period for renewal. Duration and any restoration fees are set by the registry, so the safest approach is to renew on time.

Can I transfer .cat to DomainMarket?

Yes. You will usually need the Auth/EPP code from your current registrar. Transfer typically completes within a few days, depending on the registry.

Does it support DNSSEC and Whois Privacy?

DNSSEC (DS records) can be enabled where supported by the TLD/registry. Contact data protection also depends on registry rules and service availability.

Can I use it with email and hosting?

+
Yes. We provide free DNS management and you can point it to Email Hosting/Hosting at DomainMarket or any provider via nameservers or DNS records.

Where can I see registry policies?
