About the .PR domain
What is the .PR domain?
Citizenship or residency in Puerto Rico is not required to register a .pr domain: there are no geographic restrictions on the registrant. There is, however, one specific requirement: the domain must have a valid contact address within Puerto Rico for the administrative, technical and billing contacts. The registry also supports several third-level subdomains, such as .com.pr, .net.pr, .org.pr, .isla.pr, .biz.pr and .info.pr, each aimed at a different type of project. The minimum registration term is one year. The .pr is known within the industry for charging notably higher registration fees than most ccTLDs, a quirk of Gauss Research Laboratory's pricing model worth factoring into any project budget.
Citizenship or residency in Puerto Rico is not required to register, but the registrant must provide a valid contact address within Puerto Rico for the domain's administrative, technical and billing contacts. Contact our team to confirm availability and the exact requirements.
