# .lu Domain Lead Generation — Research Findings
|
|
|
|
Research on data sources, APIs, legal requirements, and cost analysis for the prospecting module.
|
|
|
|
## 1. Data Sources for .lu Domains
|
|
|
|
The official .lu registry (DNS-LU / RESTENA) does **not** publish zone files. All providers use web crawling to discover domains, so no list is 100% complete. Expect 70-80% coverage.
|
|
|
|
### Providers
|
|
|
|
| Provider | Domains | Price | Format | Notes |
|
|
|----------|---------|-------|--------|-------|
|
|
| NetworksDB | ~70,000 | $5 | Zipped text | Best value, one-time purchase |
|
|
| DomainMetaData | Varies | $9.90/mo | CSV | Daily updates |
|
|
| Webatla | ~75,000 | Unknown | CSV | Good coverage |
|
|
|
|
## 2. Technical APIs — Cost Analysis
|
|
|
|
### Technology Detection
|
|
|
|
| Service | Free Tier | Notes |
|
|
|---------|-----------|-------|
|
|
| CRFT Lookup | Unlimited | Budget option, includes Lighthouse |
|
|
| Wappalyzer | 50/month | Most accurate |
|
|
| WhatCMS | Free lookups | CMS-only |
|
|
|
|
**Approach used**: Custom HTML parsing for CMS, JS framework, analytics, and server detection (no external API dependency).
|
|
|
|
### Performance Audits
|
|
|
|
PageSpeed Insights API — **free**, 25,000 queries/day, 400/100 seconds.
|
|
|
|
### SSL Checks
|
|
|
|
Simple HTTPS connectivity check (fast). SSL Labs API available for deep analysis of high-priority leads.
|
|
|
|
### WHOIS
|
|
|
|
Due to GDPR, .lu WHOIS data for private individuals is hidden. Only owner type and country visible. Contact info scraped from websites instead.
|
|
|
|
## 3. Legal — Luxembourg & GDPR
|
|
|
|
### B2B Cold Email Rules
|
|
|
|
Luxembourg has **no specific B2B cold email restrictions** per Article 11(1) of the Electronic Privacy Act (applies only to natural persons).
|
|
|
|
**Requirements**:
|
|
1. Identify yourself clearly (company name, address)
|
|
2. Provide opt-out mechanism in every email
|
|
3. Message must relate to recipient's business
|
|
4. Store contact data securely
|
|
5. Only contact businesses, not private individuals
|
|
|
|
**Legal basis**: Legitimate interest (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f))
|
|
|
|
### GDPR Penalties
|
|
|
|
Fines up to EUR 20 million or 4% of global revenue for violations.
|
|
|
|
**Key violations to avoid**:
|
|
- Emailing private individuals without consent
|
|
- No opt-out mechanism
|
|
- Holding personal data longer than necessary
|
|
|
|
### Recommendation
|
|
|
|
- Focus on `info@`, `contact@`, and business role emails
|
|
- Always include unsubscribe link
|
|
- Document legitimate interest basis
|
|
