About .bar

A .bar domain is a generic top-level domain run by Punto 2012 Sociedad Anonima Promotora de Inversion de Capital Variable. Registration is open to anyone worldwide. The extension is widely associated with bars of many kinds, including nail bars, wine bars, hotel bars, juice bars, tapas bars and biker bars. Legal practitioners, bar associations and law societies can also use it, as can retailers in other fields.

A .bar domain supports DNSSEC, which helps protect the records that point your domain to your website and email. Names can be 3 to 63 characters long. Internationalised names are not allowed, so your name must use standard characters. Registrations run for 1 to 10 years, and you can renew in one-year steps. Registration can be done without a local presence in any country.

A .bar domain suits any business or person whose name or work connects naturally with bars, or with the legal profession. Before you register, check that your chosen name is short, clear and easy to spell, as this is the name customers will type. Choose a term that matches how long you plan to keep it.
