A domain name is a way to assign a name to an Internet location, providing it with a clear identification. Domain names are used to access the WEB, e-mail and generally all Internet services.


If you have an entity name, Trade Name or Trademark, it is advisable to immediately register them, especially if you plan to use Internet to develop any commercial activities because most domain names are assigned according to the “first-come, first-served” philosophy.





These are basic Internet domains. They are formed by three letters. Most of them have no registration requirements and are dictated by order of arrival.

		.com	for commercial organizations (without registration rules)
		.org	for organizations in general (without registration rules)
		.net	for network services (without registration rules)
		.info	for businesses - for information (without registration rules)
		.biz	for companies and commercial purposes (without registration rules)
		.cat	for the Catalan language community (with registration rules)
		.mobi	for mobile devices such as PDA's, mobile telephones (with registration rules)
		.edu	: for Universities (with registration rules)
		.name	exclusive for the registration of personal names (with registration rules)
		.int .gov .mil	for governmental, international or military-type organizations (with registration rules)

These are the domains managed for every country and territory of the world. They are organized by location and are essentially useful for organizations and companies which want to operate or protect their company or brand identity in a specific country.

Territorial domains usually have a two-letter designation which alludes to the country (e.g.: .es Spain, eu European Community, fr France, etc).

The rules for registering names in geographic domains vary depending on each country, making them difficult to process. SUGRAÑES has vast experience in registering names in different geographic domains, especially in Spain (.es).



Generally, any person, institution, or company can register a name if they meet certain legal and technical requirements that vary from country to country.


It is initially advisable to register your name in the geographic domains where you develop your main activity.

It is also important to register your name in one of the traditional generic domains (.com, .org and .net), especially in .com since it is the most widely used.
