Interestingly, in contrast to many country-code TLDs, no second-level domains are used under .lu at present, and every domain name is registered directly under it. It plays a pivotal role in safeguarding Luxembourg's digital identity on the internet. Applications for .lu domains have been increasingly streamlined over the years, and it now supports internationalized domain names.
