The .at top-level domain has a number of second-level domains:

• .ac.at (reserved for academic institutions, especially universities)
• .gv.at (reserved for the government as well as federal and state authorities)
• .co.at (intended for commercially-oriented companies)
• .or.at (intended for all kinds of organizations)
• .priv.at (intended for private Austrian individuals)

However, it is also possible to register directly at the top level. Given the number of English words that end with -at, this presents the possibility for many domain hacks.

Registrations of internationalized domain names are accepted.^[3] In 2007, it was made possible to register domain names containing only numbers. The .at-Domain started using DNSSEC in 2011 in order to guarantee the authenticity and integrity of the Domain Name System's data.

Before August 2016, it was only possible to register .at-Domains with three or more (two for co.at, ac.at, gv.at, or.at) characters.^[4]
