Domains

To register an Internet domain is equivalent to register our trademark. If you have a domain, yoy have a name on the Internet which we associate to your website, your email addresses or any other service that uses the Internet domain names.

There are many types of domains, and ICANN (an international nonprofit organization) is the highest authority. The domains can be grouped into two groups: generic and territorial.

Generic domains are those that everybody can register without too many limitations, and whatever your nationality were. The most popular domains of this group are: .com, .net, .org, .info and .biz.

Territorial domains, however, associate our name in a particular country or territory. For example, in Catalonia .cat, in Spain .es, in France .fr, in Germany .de and so on. You can view the full list at this link. In each country there is a non-profit organization that is responsible for its management, and It controls the terms and conditions of registration of its domain. In Catalonia is PuntCAT Foundation and in Spain is EsNIC. The domain .cat is a reserved domain for the Catalan linguistic and cultural community. If you want to use it your website must have a minimum content in Catalan.

GRN can manage your domain throughout the whole process: registration, renewal, transfer, etc … Ask for information at admin@grn.cat.

And once I have my own domain what do I have to do? You can associate it to a GRN hosting plan.
