.re is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Réunion (a French island located in the Indian Ocean, east of Madagascar). Along with .fr and .tf, it is administered by AFNIC.
Since 6 December 2011, the rules for registering French domains have changed. The owner of a domain does not need to be based in France anymore. All European individuals, companies and organizations can register French domains. This change affects not only fr-domains, but also .re
Second-level domains
In addition to direct second level registrations, registrations have been made at the third level beneath these names:
- .asso.re - associations
- .nom.re - surnames
- .com.re - commercial (unrestricted registration)
Domain names at the official subdomains will from December 6 no longer be registered. The owner of such domain names can renew their existing domains.
