.re is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Réunion. Along with .fr and .tf, it is administered by AFNIC.

Since December 6, 2011, the rules for registering French domains have changed. The owner of a domain does need not to be based in France anymore. All European individuals, companies and organizations can register French domains. This change affects not only fr-domains, but also .re

In addition to direct second level registrations, registrations have been made at the third level beneath these names:

• .asso.re: associations
• .nom.re: surnames
• .com.re: commercial (unrestricted registration)

Domain names at the official subdomains will from December 6 no longer be registered. The owner of such domain names can renew their existing domains.
