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 â¬40 for the creation (or modification of a contact) and â¬40 yearly (including VAT).[3] On 18 September 2006, the registry introduced a domain name registrar model.[2] While the classic paper registration is possible, registering with a certified registrar is preferred by RESTENA.[4]
