Register.lu is an internet infrastructure provider based in Luxembourg, focusing on domain registration, web hosting, business email, and cloud storage services. Its main selling points are local data residency and compliance needs for the European market.
Service Types and Supported TLDs
Register.lu offers a full set of infrastructure services, from domain registration to getting a website online. For domains, it supports more than 800 TLDs, with a particular focus on European extensions such as Luxembourg’s country-code domain .lu (€19.90/year), .fr, .eu, and .be. A standard .com domain costs €14.67/year.
Registration/Renewal Pricing and Transfers
The platform’s pricing includes Luxembourg’s 17% VAT. At around €14.67/year, its .com pricing is on the higher side of the market; .lu domains cost €19.90/year. Taking the .company extension as an example, the transfer-in fee is €13.40/year, while the redemption recovery fee is as high as €93.18/year. One important point to note is that domain registrations are non-refundable, while hosting, email, and cloud services come with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
DNS and Add-On Services
Web hosting plans include DNS management, free Let’s Encrypt SSL certificates, support for PHP 7.x/8.x, MySQL databases, and phpMyAdmin. Its infrastructure runs on DELL PowerEdge servers in secure data centers in Luxembourg, with RAID storage and redundant power supplies. Register.lu promises 99.9% uptime and includes daily backups and firewall protection. It is fully compatible with popular open-source applications such as WordPress and Prestashop.
Web hosting is available in four tiers, from Small (€4.9/month, 1GB storage) to Business (€37.9/month, 70GB storage). Business email starts at €2.9/month, and cloud storage starts at €5/month. Its advantages include physical data residency in Luxembourg, strong security, and fast local support via phone and email. Its drawbacks are also clear: domain pricing is not very competitive; WHOIS privacy protection is not mentioned; and for non-European users, payment options and language barriers may be relatively inconvenient.
This platform is best suited to local businesses or multinational companies with strict data privacy requirements that need compliant deployment in Luxembourg or elsewhere in Europe. For users in China, its servers are located in Europe, so network latency may be relatively high, and access performance from China is currently unknown. It only supports credit cards and bank transfers, does not support Alipay or WeChat Pay, and has no Chinese-language interface. Chinese users looking for alternatives may want to consider international providers with better Asia support, such as Namecheap or Cloudflare.
