.cr and .com domain registration and management
We register your .cr or .com domain in your company's name, set it up and remind you before it expires. From US$20 + VAT a year.
Your domain is your business's address on the internet, and in Costa Rica a .cr tells customers you are local. We register it in your company's name with NIC Costa Rica, set it up for your website and email, and remind you before it expires. An expired domain leaves the business without a website or email, and sometimes someone else registers it.
Registering a .cr from abroad can be confusing: NIC Costa Rica's site and process are in Spanish, and payment and renewal have their own rules. We handle that part for you, and the domain stays in your name, not ours.

Frequently asked questions
Is the domain mine?
Yes. It's registered in your company's name and you have the access. If you ever change providers, you take it with you.
What if someone else registered my domain?
If it was a previous provider, in your name, we help you get the access back. If it's in someone else's name, we explain your options.
Should I get a .cr or a .com?
If your customers are in Costa Rica, a .cr builds local trust and is usually easier to get. If you mostly sell abroad, a .com may suit you better; many businesses have both, with one redirecting to the other. See also business email.
