The .at TLD is managed by nic.at GmbH, which is responsible for the registry operations and maintaining the zone file.

Abstract

nic.at GmbH has run Austria's country code since its delegation in 1988. Roughly 1.4 million domains are registered, and registration is open worldwide without a residency condition. Austrian companies, institutions, and public bodies supply the bulk of demand. A secondary use exists outside the country: because the string matches the English preposition 'at', a handful of registrants build domain hacks that read as complete phrases across the dot.
