Information

PuntCAT is a non-profit organization based in Barcelona, Spain, serving as the registrar for the .cat Top Level Domain (TLD). Established in 2004, PuntCAT was founded to cater to the needs of the Catalan Linguistic and Cultural Community on the Internet. The domain extension is specifically designed for individuals and organizations connected to the Catalan language and culture. PuntCAT became the first gTLD Registry Operator to have a cross-ownership ban lifted in 2013, allowing it more flexibility in its operations.

Restrictions

To purchase a domain under the .cat TLD, there are certain requirements that must be met. First and foremost, applicants must demonstrate a clear connection to the Catalan language or culture. This can be achieved through various means such as providing proof of residence in a Catalan-speaking region, membership in a Catalan cultural organization, or demonstrating proficiency in the Catalan language. Additionally, all applications are subject to review by PuntCAT to ensure eligibility. There is no restriction on the number of domains an individual or organization can register under .cat, as long as they meet the eligibility criteria. However, it's important to note that domain names must not infringe on existing trademarks or other intellectual property rights.
