Buy .madrid Domain Name

Two sets of conditions apply together. The first is community membership: a bona fide presence in the Madrid area. The second is that this presence and the use of the domain are generally accepted as legitimate, conducive to the welfare of the Madrid area, commensurate with the role and importance of the name, and based on good faith at registration and thereafter. The agreement adds that these conditions «must always be fulfilled». Registrants are also required to state their intended use.

Yes, it is a binding condition. The agreement requires registrants to have an administrative contact in the Madrid area and states that this is verified partly automatically — through the postal code in the administrative contact record — and partly by human review. The administrative contact may be any person or entity that has accepted the mandate, and the registrar itself may act in that capacity. The text draws one further consequence: any communication addressed to the administrative contact is deemed to have been brought to the holder's attention.

The domain can be suspended. To facilitate validation, registrants are required to state their intended use, and the agreement spells out the consequence: «a false statement of intended use is an indication of bad faith and can be the basis for the suspension of the domain name.» The same text also provides that if the intended use cannot be deemed legitimate, or has a negative impact on the welfare of the Madrid area, the registration is rejected outright. The statement is therefore not a formality but a monitored undertaking.

It is generic. The IANA root zone database lists .madrid as a generic top-level domain, whereas .es, Spain's country extension, appears in the same database as a country code domain. Their registries differ as well: .es is run by the public business entity Red.es, .madrid by the regional government itself, Comunidad de Madrid. The rules of .es therefore do not apply in .madrid, and vice versa.

The zone is small. By ICANN's monthly registry report there were 3,305 registered names in April 2026; the same series shows 3,398 in December 2025 and 3,321 in March 2026, so the count is drifting slightly down. Registrations run largely through Spanish registrars. Being a small zone helps with availability, but the eligibility condition comes first.

Yes, there is a two-instance appeals route. The agreement states that an appeals process is available for all administrative measures taken under the enforcement programme: the first instance is managed by the registry service provider, while the second and last instance is the Region of Madrid itself — which may run it directly or entrust it to an alternative dispute resolution provider. The charter of the appeals process is promulgated by the Region of Madrid.

Through random checks with automated targeting. The agreement describes the purpose of the enforcement programme as protecting «the credibility of the TLD for its local and international public»; it works through statistically targeted random investigations and a complaint follow-up process, and the targeting is strongly automated — search engines and registry data on registrant behaviour are used. Investigation is deepened where a registrant has a bad compliance record, and public records of other violations are taken into account.
