.es Registration

The official Internet domain for Spain is .es. This domain was established in 1988 and is available to entities that have connections in Spain. This is a very popular and active domain in Spain. Sponsored by Red.es, the process of registering an .es domain is managed by the Network Information Center of Spain (ESNIC). Other authorized sponsors of this domain include Edificio Bronce, Plaza Manuel Gomez Moreno and Madrid 28020.

The conditions required for the registration of an .es domain are fairly simple. Since the country offers different domain registration plans, the rules for registering an .es domain vary. Business entities and individuals who have appropriate connections with Spain can register domains with an .es domain name. All registrations are done on a first-come, first-served basis. Local presence or administrative contact information in the country is not required for registration. Registration contracts can be extended and renewed, if required. Moreover, registrants can freely transfer their domain names to third parties. Multiple domain registration is also possible.

In order to get a domain registered with an .es extension, there are certain qualifications and restrictions the registrants have to follow. All .es registrations are permitted directly at the second level and the third level beneath various generic second level categories. There are a number of domain names with extensions such as .com.es, .nom.es, .org.es, and .edu.es, where .com.es is for commercial entities; .nom.es is intended for personal names, org.es for non-commercial organizations and .edu.es for educational institutions.
