Argentina uses .com.ar, .ar, which requires a local presence to register. Below: who operates each namespace, what its rules actually constrain, the accredited local registrars, and how global registrars compare on price where we hold a sourced figure.
Of the 7 local storefronts read on 2026-09-29, none printed a .com.ar price together with its currency and tax treatment, so no local registrar is ranked; each is listed below with what its page showed. NIC Argentina sells .com.ar itself. Global registrars that sell .com.ar in US dollars are the global option for a buyer in Argentina, not a recommendation in it.
These 1 companies are accredited by the Argentina registry to sell .ar, .com.ar. Every column is a fact the registry publishes, read from its accredited-registrar list on 2026-09-29. Listed in the registry's own order.
| Registrar | Website | DNSSECas the registry publishes it |
|---|---|---|
| NIC Argentina | nic.ar | Not published |
0 of 1 are listed by the registry as supporting DNSSEC. “Not published” means the registry does not list that registrar as supporting it, which is not the same as the registrar not supporting it. We have not tested any of these registrars, so nothing here carries a price, a score or a ranking. Comparing them on price and service is work we have not done, and saying which is better would be invention.
Three conditions decide whether a registrar can be recommended in Argentina rather than merely to the world from it: an interface in an official language, billing in the local currency, and selling the local namespace. All three must hold. No registrar we track currently meets all three here.

A dash is ignorance, not a failing grade: it means we have not established that condition either way. Several registrars render their language and currency switchers in JavaScript, which the read behind this table cannot see, so we record nothing rather than a false “no”. A currency that appears only in a display selector does not count as billing in that currency, because a converted price charged in dollars is exactly the case this condition exists to catch.
Seven storefronts were opened in a real browser: NIC Argentina itself and six retail sellers (no registry list exists). NIC Argentina prints .com.ar at $8.500 but with a bare dollar sign and no tax wording; DonWeb prints Pesos Argentinos without IVA wording; Neolo prices .com.ar in US dollars; Hostinger's Argentine page prices in ARS "sin IVA" but lists no .com.ar. GoDaddy returned an HTTP 403 bot wall. No storefront gave a comparable standing .com.ar price with tax treatment, so none is ranked.
Ordered by the standing .com.ar price each registrar's own page printed on 2026-09-29: the renewal where the page states one, else the regular price, VAT included (added at 21% where the page states prices excluding it). Price only: this site has not tested their support, uptime or transfers, and none of them carries a score.
A local-language storefront, but no .com.ar price with its VAT treatment on the page read.
Not read on 2026-09-29: GoDaddy (HTTP 403 "Access Denied" bot wall. Nothing read.). Unread is a fact about our read, not a finding about the registrar.
No registrar we track meets all three local conditions in Argentina.
No registrar we track is recorded as selling .com.ar at all, so the namespace condition fails before language or currency is reached.
For .com.ar itself, the registry’s own accredited registrars are the route, and they are listed on this page above. We have not tested them, so we name them rather than rank them.
| Registrar | Does not meet | Why it is still worth naming |
|---|---|---|
| does not bill in ARS; does not sell .com.ar; no Spanish-language storefront established | Verified .com renewal of $11.08. Not the cheapest .com we verify: Spaceship renews at $10.18, 9% less. Porkbun is the pick here for catalogue breadth, not for price. WHOIS privacy: free, included by default. |
Buying a gTLD through an English-language registrar that bills in dollars is a real and common choice, so it is named with the trade stated rather than dropped. It is not a recommendation in Argentina: the conditions it misses are in the column above.
Support channels: 24/7 live chat, ticket support, knowledge base.
Industry-leading anycast DNS with deep developer tooling. Public API documented.
These two are the site’s global picks and are the same on every country page, which is why they are labelled globally and sit outside the table above. Nothing about a registrar’s API or its support channels changes at a border; what does change is language, billing currency and whether it can sell the local namespace, and that is what the eligibility table measures.
Purpose: Argentina's primary registrable domain (.com.ar).
Eligibility: Registration is handled by NIC Argentina; an Argentine tax ID (CUIT/CUIL) or local presence is generally required.
None of the registrars we track sell .com.ar at retail: see the local registrar list below.
NIC Argentina runs registration directly through its portal.

Compared across the 11 registrars whose .com price we have read ourselves.
Most global registrars price domains in USD; local registrars often invoice in ARS.
No registrar whose prices we verify sells .com.ar, so a local or specialist registrar is the only route to it. A global registrar can still hold the .com, which renews from $10.18 at the cheapest seller we verify: many owners here run both.
| ccTLD | Sellers we verify | Cheapest verified renewal | vs cheapest .com |
|---|---|---|---|
| .com.ar | 0 | Local registrar only | No value recorded |
Renewals are all-in and per year, at the cheapest registrar we verify for that extension, checked 2026-09-29. The .com reference is the cheapest verified .com renewal ($10.18). "Listed" counts registrars our country notes record as selling the extension without a price we have read ourselves.
What this page does not tell you: how the registrars based in Argentina compare. We list 1 of them by name only, no prices, no scores, no hands-on testing, so any claim here that a local registrar is cheaper, better supported or easier to pay would be invention. Where local billing in Argentine Peso (ARS), local-language support, or a registry rule requires a local registrar, that is a reason to use one, and comparing them is work we have not done. Argentina also applies a local-presence or nexus requirement to at least one of its ccTLDs: see the registry rules above before assuming eligibility.
