How did they get the domain name I wonder? I thought .cat was reserved for websites that promote the Catalan language and culture.

  It's quite easy. I own http://sqr.cat/ http://sqr.cat/ for instance. You just register it through http://gandi.net/ http://gandi.net/ The only requirement for .cat is that you need to display a page in Catalan for a minimum of 6 months.

    Good to know, thanks!

    Nope, you need to have contents in Catalan in your .cat site, not for six months but forever. I couldn't find this 6-months clause anywhere, and the terms don't mention it at all: http://fundacio.cat/ca/domini/sobre-el-cat/normativa http://fundacio.cat/ca/domini/sobre-el-cat/normativa Furthermore, they clearly say that violation of the only usage restriction (contents in Catalan) can result in your domain being suspended. edit: Just a little correction to your text in Catalan: L'idioma català és una llengua bonica. ;)

      >> I couldn't find this 6-months clause anywhere .. Actually if you try to add a *.cat domain through gandi.net, they included this clause as a tip-text encoded in the little warning image: "Warning: the registration contract for domain names in this extension require that you publish at least one page in Catalan within 6 months."

Nice work! Does it have an API like thecatapi.com?
- hangmeon 12y ago
  Hi, no API, but that can be put together really quick.
