Meet Barcelona’s got the dot!

The meet.barcelona website has been renewed to emphasise professional perspectives, investment and study opportunities for people visiting the city or wishing to do business here. The revamp comes as part of the ‘Barcelona with you’ campaign.

The communication initiative was launched to coincide with the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2021, which went ahead again having been cancelled last year due to the pandemic. The campaign targets people from around the globe, the idea being to attract talent and investment and strengthen the Barcelona brand.

The initiative uses local and international media, including influential channels such as the Financial Times and The Economist, as well as social media, to generate an impact in different professional spheres. For those visiting the MWC in Barcelona, outdoor digital supports have been set up at strategic points around the city such as the airport, Sants station, the metro in Plaça d’Espanya, the Europa Fira station and other places.

Available in four languages, the meet.barcelona website is aimed at strengthening the city’s international position. It features reasons for visiting Barcelona, working or doing business here, as well as full information on services to help people have a positive experience of the city. 

Choosing the best registrar for your .barcelona domain

If you want to register a .barcelona domain you need to use a domain name registrar. There are currently over 25 companies offering .barcelona domains, but what do you need to consider when choosing the best registrar for your domain?

If you check our price comparison, you’ll see that the cost of the domain varies greatly from one registrar to another. This may be due to the various services that come with the domain registration. Depending on your requirements, you may only need the domain registration, or you may want to include other services.


DNS: This service manages the Domain Name System and translates domain names to IP addresses. It allows for the creation of sub-domains and forwarding. All registrars include this service as it is essential for anyone wishing to have a website.

DNS SEC: Some registrars offer DNS SEC, an innovative technology whereby encryption provides added security for the domain. This is recommended for anybody requiring their website to perform electronic transactions or handle sensitive information.

Hosting: With the registration of the .barcelona domain, some registrars include space for hosting information used on the domain: text, images, videos etc. If you want the domain to have a website, you need hosting. This service can be contracted directly with the domain registrar or from different website editors such as WordPress, who also offer hosting. The space offered varies from one registrar to another, so take into account the volume of information you want on your website to see what hosting you will need. 

Email: This is the number of available mailboxes you want for your domain, for example correu@elteudomini.barcelona. Email addresses with your own domain help you create your own digital identity under you own domain. There are currently various registrars offering between 1 and 3 mailboxes. Decide whether you need a generic email address or whether you need various addresses for your domain (useful for small businesses or organisations where there are various people or departments).
Statistics: Some registrars offer the possibility of viewing data or graphics relating to the domain’s performance (number of visits, duration, dates etc.). This is an alternative to services such as Google Analytics, allowing you to discover the content which attracts the most interest on your website and the type of people who visit it.

Finally, the price comparison also includes information on customer support provided by each registrar (phone, chat or email), their contact hours and the languages in which they can attend to you.
