.hr is the ccTLD for Croatia. The letters "hr" come from Hrvatska, the country's name in the local language. It is managed by the Croatian Academic and Research Network (CARNet).[1]

Rules and Restrictions[edit | edit source]

Free registrations are offered to:

  • legal entities (companies, associations, political parties and other organizations with legal personality) registered in the Republic of Croatia; and
  • natural persons who perform a registered independent activity in the Republic of Croatia (craftsmen, artists, doctors, etc.).

Each user has the right to one free domain.[2]

Paid domain names can be registered by:

  • legal entities with a place of business in one of the member states of the European Union; and
  • natural persons, citizens of one of the member states of the European Union who have a personal identification number (PIN) issued by the competent authority of the Republic of Croatia.[3]

The domain name may not impersonate or appropriate the identity of third parties to the domain user, nor may it be identical or confusingly similar to the name, name or sign to which the user has no right or legitimate interest.

Second-level Domains[edit | edit source]

The second-level domain name ".from.hr" can be registered by natural persons with residence or citizenship in the Republic of Croatia, uniquely recognizable by their personal identification number (PIN).[4]

".com.hr" can be registered by all legal entities and natural persons.[5]

Characters[edit | edit source]

A domain name consists of a string of at least one and up to 63 characters that consist of:

  • letters of the Croatian and English alphabet, whereby there is no difference between uppercase and lowercase letters;
  • numbers from 0 to 9;
  • The hyphen character (-), whereby the hyphen must not be the first or last character in the name, nor must it appear in two consecutive places.

It is possible to register secondary domains composed of one or two alphanumeric characters (single-letter and two-letter) and secondary domains with diacritical characters. A domain name cannot be the same as the already registered domain name.[6]
