Croatia uses .hr, .com.hr, .from.hr, 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 10 local storefronts read on 2026-09-29, POSLuH prints the lowest standing .hr price: €73.40 incl. VAT, then Plus Hosting at €73.75 incl. VAT, computed from €59.00 ex. VAT; €50.15 first year. CARNET accredits 30 registrars to sell .hr; none of them is tested or scored here. Global registrars that sell .hr in US dollars are the global option for a buyer in Croatia, not a recommendation in it.
Registrars accredited by CARNET (Hrvatska akademska i istrazivacka mreza)
These 30 companies are accredited by the Croatia registry to sell .hr. 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.
Registrars accredited by CARNET (Hrvatska akademska i istrazivacka mreza), with website and whether the registry lists each as supporting DNSSEC. No prices and no scores: none of these registrars has been tested by this site.
0 of 30 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.
Which registrars have a Croatian site, bill in EUR and sell .hr?
Three conditions decide whether a registrar can be recommended in Croatia 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.
The English storefront was read and Croatian was not among them. Language switchers are often rendered in JavaScript, which this read cannot see, so this is not recorded as a "no".

Bills in USD only. "All prices are in USD" is a positive statement that no other billing currency is offered, so this is a recorded 'no' on every non-USD currency rather than an absence.

Offers EUR in a currency selector, but whether the card is charged in EUR or in USD after a conversion is not established. Nine currencies in the selector, which is more than any other registrar tracked here. Whether the card is charged in the selected currency or in USD after a conversion is NOT established: https://www.dynadot.com/community/help/question/change-currency was read on the same date and says nothing about how charges are made or about an exchange rate. Until that is established these do not pass the currency condition, because the condition exists to protect a buyer from a conversion fee and a display-only currency does not.

Nofails one condition
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.
Where to buy a .hr: CARNET-accredited registrars, read from their own storefronts
Ten Croatian registrars from CARNET's list of 30 were opened on 2026-09-29, plus Hostinger's Croatian page; three print a paid .hr price with PDV (VAT) wording and are ranked, between 50,15 EUR without PDV and 73,40 EUR with PDV a year. cyber_Folks prints its table under a PDV switch and BudiOnline without tax wording; Regica answered 502, Extreme Hosting 405, and ExaByte and TOTOHOST print no .hr price. Domenca (Webtasy) serves a Slovenian storefront.
Ordered by the standing .hr 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 25% 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.

Read, not ranked
A local-language storefront, but no .hr price with its VAT treatment on the page read.
Ccyber_FolksThe price list prints .hr at 66,49 € for registration and renewal beside a bez PDV-a / s PDV-om switch, and the saved text does not say which view is shown.
BBudiOnlineThe domain page prints .hr at € 85.00/god with no tax wording.
EExaByteThe page says .hr registration is coming soon and prints no price.
DDomencaThe page read is a Slovenian storefront with Slovenian VAT and no .hr price.
Not read on 2026-09-29: Regica (HTTP 502 on 2026-09-29 in two attempts. Nothing read.); Extreme Hosting (HTTP 405 on 2026-09-29. Nothing read.). Unread is a fact about our read, not a finding about the registrar.
Best options in Croatia
No registrar we track meets all three local conditions in Croatia.
No registrar we track is recorded as selling .hr at all, so the namespace condition fails before language or currency is reached.
For .hr 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.
does not bill in EUR; does not sell .hr; no Croatian-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 Croatia: the conditions it misses are in the column above.
Business use, globally
Namecheap
Support channels: 24/7 live chat, ticket support, knowledge base.
Developers, globally
Cloudflare Registrar
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.
Policy authority: CARNET, Croatian Academic and Research Network
Local presence: Tiered. A free .hr name is limited to legal entities registered in Croatia and natural persons carrying out a registered independent activity there. A paid .hr name is open to legal entities based in an EU member state and to EU citizens holding a Croatian personal identification number, exclusively through authorised registrars. A paid .com.hr is open to all legal entities and natural persons.
DNSSEC: Signed at the root
IDN: Croatian diacritics are supported in .hr names.

Purpose: Croatia's country code, the primary Croatian business and institutional identity.
Eligibility: Restricted, in two tiers. Free .hr is for legal entities registered in Croatia and natural persons with a registered independent activity there. Paid .hr is open to legal entities based in an EU member state and to EU citizens holding a Croatian personal identification number (OIB), exclusively via authorised registrars.

Compared across the 11 registrars whose .com price we have read ourselves.
Most global registrars price domains in USD; local registrars often invoice in EUR.
Can a registrar we track handle Croatia?
No registrar whose prices we verify sells any of the ccTLDs on this page, so a local or specialist registrar is the only route to them. A global registrar can still hold the .com, which renews from $10.18 at the cheapest seller we verify: many owners here run both.

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 Croatia compare. We list 30 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 Euro (EUR), 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. Croatia also applies a local-presence or nexus requirement to at least one of its ccTLDs: see the registry rules above before assuming eligibility.
