.lu

.lu is de domain extension of Luxembourg and is managed by the registry dns.lu.

On this page you will find information about .lu domains that you register with TransIP.

Registration

• A .lu domain may contain a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 63 characters.
• Emojis are not available for .lu domains. However, the use of special characters/punycode is possible. A comprehensive overview of which extensions allow which special characters can be found on the website of IANA, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority.
• .lu domain registrations are annual and are automatically renewed at the end of the registration period of a year.
• Nameservers are required to pass a nameserver check, which can be found on http://www.dns.lu/en/support/checking-nameservers/. The TransIP nameservers meet these requirements and can therefore always be used for .lu domains you register with us.
  • If you wish to use your own nameservers, you need to make sure they meet the registry's requirements before you register a .lu domain.

Transfers

• A .lu domain is not transferred using a transfer code. Contact support using 'Contact' button in your control panel or at the bottom of this page if you wish to transfer your .lu domain to TransIP.
