.cr Domain Registrations

The .cr domain extension is the official country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Costa Rica, managed by NIC Costa Rica — operated by the University of Costa Rica's Network Information Center. In operation since 1990, .cr is the national web identity for Costa Rican businesses, government agencies, educational institutions, tourism operators, and individuals. Costa Rica is widely regarded as Central America's most stable and prosperous democracy, with a thriving tourism industry, a growing technology sector, and a government that has long championed digital infrastructure and environmental sustainability. San José has emerged as one of the region's most active tech startup ecosystems. A .cr domain signals local credibility and commitment to Costa Rican consumers, who have high internet penetration rates and sophisticated online shopping habits. Open to all registrants worldwide.
