.lu is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Luxembourg. .lu domains are administered by RESTENA. Since 1 February 2010, the administrative contact no longer needs to be based in Luxembourg.
History
For many years, applications for .lu domains could be made only via postal mail or fax. The fees for a .lu second level domain are €40 for the creation (or modification of a contact) and €40 yearly (including VAT).{{Cite web|date=October 2015|title=Fees for domain name registration under the top-level domain .lu via DNS-LU (*)|url=https://www.dns.lu/media/content/pdf/EN_1.2.7.2_PDF-FEES-CLASSIC.pdf|url-status=live|access-date=2016-12-11|website=DNS-LU|publisher=Fondation Restena|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100401015802/http://www.dns.lu:80/media/content/pdf/EN_1.2.7.2_PDF-FEES-CLASSIC.pdf |archive-date=1 April 2010 }} On 18 September 2006, the registry introduced a domain name registrar model.{{cite web|date=11 June 2013|title=Domain name Holder's FAQ|url=http://www.dns.lu/en/support/faq/general-info/8/|url-status=live|access-date=30 December 2013|website=DNS-LU|publisher=Fondation Restena|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110727235804/http://www.dns.lu/en/support/faq/general-info/8/ |archive-date=27 July 2011 }} While the classic paper registration is possible, registering with a certified registrar is preferred by RESTENA.{{cite web|date=11 June 2013|title=Accredited registrars|url=http://www.dns.lu/en/registrars/list-registrars/|url-status=live|access-date=30 December 2013|website=DNS-LU|publisher=Fondation Restena|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100206131342/http://www.dns.lu:80/en/registrars/list-registrars/ |archive-date=6 February 2010 }}
