    About .hr domain

    The .hr domain is a country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Croatia, managed by the Croatian Academic and Research Network (CARNET). It was delegated to the root zone in February 1993 and became operational shortly thereafter. The registry operates under policies set by the CARNET DNS Committee, which oversees the domain's administration and technical management.

    Who can register .hr domain

    Registration for second-level .hr domains is restricted to entities with a verifiable connection to Croatia. Eligible registrants include Croatian citizens, permanent residents, and companies or organizations legally registered within the country. Legal entities from other European Union member states can also register a paid .hr domain if they have a business presence in the EU. For individuals without a Croatian personal identification number (PIN), registration is generally not possible at the second level.

    How to register .hr domain

    1. First, check the availability of your desired .hr domain name through an accredited registrar or the official DNS Croatia portal, ensuring the name meets character and length requirements.
    2. Select an authorized registrar, compare their service packages and pricing for the registration term, and note that some categories like .com.hr are open globally but may require a local administrative contact.
    3. Complete the online checkout, providing accurate registrant details and any required documentation, such as proof of Croatian citizenship, residency, or company registration for second-level names.
    4. Finalize the registration by verifying your contact information and configuring your domain's DNS settings, such as nameservers, to point to your hosting service.

    Typical uses of .hr domain

    The .hr extension is predominantly used by individuals, businesses, and organizations based in or connected to Croatia. It serves as the primary online identifier for Croatian entities, from local companies and government bodies to personal blogs and cultural projects. Many choose this TLD to establish a clear local presence, build trust with a Croatian audience, and align their web address with their national identity. While .com.hr is available for international registrants, the second-level .hr remains the most popular and recognizable choice for domestic use.

    Tips for registering .hr domain

    • Registrations are available for a minimum of one year, with renewal required to maintain ownership of the domain.
    • WHOIS privacy services may be available depending on the registrar, but registrant eligibility information must remain accurate and verifiable.
    • The registry offers a dispute resolution policy, and domain names must not impersonate third parties or infringe on existing rights.
    • Some specific categories, like .iz.hr (.from.hr), are available for free to eligible Croatian citizens and residents.

    Who can register a .hr domain?

    Registration eligibility is primarily based on a connection to Croatia. For a standard second-level .hr domain, you must be a Croatian citizen, a permanent resident, or a legally registered company within the country. EU-based companies can also register by providing a valid EU VAT ID. Individuals without a Croatian personal identification number (PIN) typically cannot register a second-level name but may explore third-level options like .com.hr.

    Can I transfer a .hr domain between registrars?

    Transferring a .hr domain between registrars follows standard procedures but requires the domain to be unlocked and an authorization code to be obtained from the current registrar. It's important to ensure the domain is not within a 60-day lock period following a previous transfer or registration. The transfer process must also comply with the registry's eligibility rules, meaning the new registrant must still meet the connection requirements for Croatia.

    What is the difference between .hr, .com.hr, and .from.hr?

    .hr is the primary second-level domain with eligibility restrictions. .com.hr is a paid third-level domain open to anyone globally, though it requires a local administrative contact. .from.hr (also styled as .iz.hr) is a free third-level domain intended for personal use, available only to natural persons who are citizens or residents of Croatia and have a Croatian PIN.

    Are there any content or usage restrictions for .hr domains?

    While there are no specific content mandates, the domain name itself must not impersonate or appropriate the identity of a third party. It cannot be identical or confusingly similar to a name, trademark, or sign to which the registrant has no right or legitimate interest. The registry's dispute policy allows third parties to challenge registrations that violate these rules.

    Can I register a single-character or two-character .hr domain?

    Yes, the registry's policy allows for the registration of secondary domains composed of one or two alphanumeric characters. These are considered regular domain names and are subject to the same availability checks, eligibility requirements, and registration procedures as longer names.
