OK | Más informaciónThis is the address of a company, organisation, association or person on the internet and it enables their information, products and/or services to be made accessible throughout the world, via the internet.
It has a dual purpose:
- It is the identifier on the internet that serves to identify the company or the trademarks of its products and services on the web.
- It is the web address, being the simplest, fastest and most intuitive way of locating a site on the internet.
There are three levels of domains on the internet:
- First level domains are those ending in com, gob, edu, org (and others) and are assigned by institutions designated by ICANN. No prior checks are required to register .com, .org or .net domain names and they are assigned on a “first come first served” basis.
- Second level domains are those that identify the country. In Spain, Red.es is responsible for assigning these domains, and they are awarded to the first person to request them, provided they meet the requirements. Domain names that have been previously assigned cannot be the object of an application. They must also comply with certain syntax rules and cannot include reserved terms in a series of lists (internet terms, terms relating to national or international institutions), as set out in the corresponding regulations.
- RED.es is also responsible for assigning third level domains: “.com.es”, “.nom.es”, “.org.es”, “.gob.es” and “.edu.es”. These third level domain names are assigned by giving priority to those who apply first. Domain names that have been previously assigned cannot be the object of an application. When “.gob.es” and “.edu.es” domain names are assigned, it is first verified that they meet the requirements outlined in current legislation and that they comply with the syntax rules. Third level domain names of “.com.es”, “.nom.es”, “.org.es”, must also comply with syntax rules and cannot include reserved terms from a series of lists (internet terms, terms relating to national or international institutions), as set out in the corresponding regulations.
