Where a registrar publishes no renewal figure, it is assumed to renew at its first year price.

How is .cat availability checked?

.cat publishes an RDAP service through IANA's registry directory, so availability comes from the registry itself rather than from scraped text. That is the strongest answer this tool can give.

Results for this extension come back as a definitive available or registered answer.

How the checker answers thousands of names at once is in the Checker guide. Already registered? Marketplaces such as GoDaddy Auctions, SedoPartner, Dan.com list names for resale, and Domain Hub watches one until it drops.

How much does it cost to transfer a .cat domain?

The cheapest transfer we hold is $22.99 at Hostinger. A transfer normally adds a year to your registration, so it is closer to a prepaid year than a pure fee. Under ICANN's transfer policy a domain cannot move for 60 days after it was registered or last transferred, and usually not after a change of owner unless that owner opted out of the lock.

Is .cat a good extension to register?

.cat is a sponsored extension with a restricted community of registrants. It sees less use than the mainstream extensions, which usually means far more short names are still free. Budget on the renewal rather than the first year, which runs up to 2.6 times higher in year two.
