Meaning and history

The domain extension .kr is the country-specific top-level domain from South Korea. It is probably the most progressive and richest Asian country, where many well-known companies have their headquarters and have subsidiaries in many other countries. Especially in the field of mobile communications technology, South Korea is the world leader.

Award guidelines

The top-level domain .kr was launched on September 29, 1986 and is administered by the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA) based in Seoul. Until 2006, only names under the official subdomains could be registered. In the meantime it is also possible to register domain addresses directly under the top-level domain. The top-level domain also supports the Korean alphabet (Hangeul). In order to register a top-level domain with the ending .kr, it is necessary that the private person has a residence and the company that has this ambition has at least a branch office in South Korea. This domain ending is therefore one of the last worldwide that is not freely available all over the world. However, it is possible for companies to access such a domain address through a trustee. Private individuals cannot use a trustee service.

Use

The domain extension .kr is used by most companies that have a company headquarters or branch office in South Korea. In the very networked society of South Korea it is very important for a company to be present in the WWW. This starts with the small craftsman and ends with the multi-company.

Significance of the domain extension at home and abroad

The domain extension .kr is very important for companies in South Korea, especially for domestic business. For international business, most companies also tend to use internationally available domain extensions. Above all, companies use domain extensions that are country-specific for the country in which they offer their products and would like to sell them. For private individuals the domain ending .kr is also very important. There is hardly a household in South Korea that does not have access to the WWW.
