    About .alsace domain

    .alsace is a geographic gTLD (geoTLD) operated by REGION GRAND EST, launched in 2014 as part of ICANN's New gTLD Program. It was delegated to the DNS root on October 4, 2014. The extension is designed to serve as a regional identifier on the internet, with no geographic registration restrictions included in its application. This makes it a product that combines regional branding with open global availability.

    Who can register .alsace domain

    Registration for .alsace is open to anyone worldwide, with no residency, business, or geographic requirements. Despite being a geographically-themed extension, the registry did not implement registration restrictions. This means individuals, companies, or organizations from any country can register a .alsace domain name.

    How to register .alsace domain

    1. Search for your desired .alsace domain name using a registrar or domain search tool to check availability. Many registrars offer bulk search options.
    2. Compare pricing and features across different registrars, as the registry applies a relatively high pricing model to ensure self-sufficiency. Be aware of introductory offers versus renewal rates.

    4. After purchase, verify your contact details via email and configure your DNS settings. Note that the domain may be locked for 60 days if you enable the transfer lock by default.
