What is a .kr domain?
.kr is South Korea's official top-level domain (TLD) and country code top-level domain (ccTLD). The domain is particularly intended for South Korean companies and individuals, as well as foreign entities with involvement in the South Korean market. The purpose of the .kr domain is to make South Korean websites visible and clarify their geographical relevance for customers and recipients.
The TLD administrator of the .kr domain is the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA), which also determines the registration conditions for the top-level domain and approves registrars.
Enable successful establishment in South Korea
A South Korean .kr domain is a simple and effective way to increase your presence and visibility in the South Korean market. This is especially valuable if you are going to start a business in the country, or if you want to expand your already existing operations there. Either by starting something physical on-site, or by entering the digital market.
Basic registration terms for the .kr top-level domain
South Korea's top-level domain is not an open country domain, which means it is not available for free registration by anyone. Currently, it is required that you, as a company, have at least one branch located in the country. For individuals, it is required to be registered in the country and have a residence there. If you do not meet these requirements, we can help arrange it through our local contact service.
Foreign entrepreneurs can apply for domain registration with KISA through an accredited registrar or an agent who collaborates with a registrar – like us at Abion. Through our supplier, we can offer smooth registration of .kr domains under favorable conditions. Our local contact service in South Korea also allows us to assist with necessary preparations such as company registration in the country and similar tasks.
Furthermore, there are also some technical limitations and conditions that must be met for your domain registration to be approved. These include, among other things, the maximum length of the domain name, allowed characters (the .kr domain supports both the regular alphabet and the South Korean Hangeul alphabet), and name server requirements. When registering a domain with Abion, we ensure that all conditions and technical requirements are met.
