The .lu domain extension is the country code top-level domain for Luxembourg, and is managed by the RESTENA (Réseau Téléinformatique de l'Éducation Nationale) foundation, DNS.lu. The first .lu domain names were registered in 1995.

.lu domain names are particularly popular amongst businesses and financial service providers operating in Luxembourg, owing to the country’s status as an international business centre.
