A domain name is a functional identifier that is unique, understandable, and memorable to and by human beings. It enables technical information to be obtained, such as the IP address of websites or electronic mailboxes, by asking a names server (DNS server).
To properly use your .lu domain name, other services (DNS management, web or mail hosting, etc.) must be connected to it. Restena Foundation's registrar only offers a limited number of these services. When you choose Restena as your registrar, you will need to provide these yourself or use other providers.
You can also use another .lu accredited registrar that offers all the services that you need.
