Czechia uses .cz, open to registrants worldwide. 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, VEDOS (WEDOS) prints the lowest standing .cz price: CZK 193.60 incl. VAT, then FORPSI at CZK 240.79 incl. VAT; CZK 205.70 first year. CZ.NIC accredits 48 registrars to sell .cz; none of them is tested or scored here. Global registrars that sell .cz in US dollars are the global option for a buyer in Czechia, not a recommendation in it.
Registrars accredited by CZ.NIC, z. s. p. o.
These 48 companies are accredited by the Czechia registry to sell .cz. Every figure below is a fact the registry publishes, read from its accredited-registrar list on 2026-09-29.
CZ.NIC, z. s. p. o. publishes 48 registrars under contract for .cz. Of those, it lists 0 as offering DNSSEC.
We do not reproduce all 48 names here. Any order we printed them in would imply a ranking, and we have tested none of them. The registry's own list is the authority: CZ.NIC, z. s. p. o. registrar list, read 2026-09-29.
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 Czech site, bill in CZK and sell .cz?
Three conditions decide whether a registrar can be recommended in Czechia 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 Czech 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.

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 .cz: CZ.NIC-accredited registrars, read from their own storefronts
Nine Czech retail registrars from CZ.NIC's list of 48 were read on 2026-09-29, plus Hostinger's Czech page; eight print .cz with DPH (VAT) wording and are ranked. Most sell .cz with a first-year discount and a renewal between 315 and 604 Kc including DPH, while VEDOS prints one price of 193,60 Kc s DPH for both years. OVHcloud has no Czech storefront (the Czech addresses redirect to the Irish English site) and GoDaddy's Czech page returned HTTP 403.
Ordered by the standing .cz 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.

Read, not ranked
A local-language storefront, but no .cz price with its VAT treatment on the page read.
SSubreg.czThe saved text prints price pairs under a row of endings without saying which pair belongs to .cz, so the .cz price cannot be attributed.
Not read on 2026-09-29: OVHcloud (HTTP 404 on 2026-09-29; ovh.cz and ovhcloud.com/cs/ redirect to the English (Ireland) storefront, so no Czech storefront was found.). Unread is a fact about our read, not a finding about the registrar.
Best options in Czechia
No registrar we track meets all three local conditions in Czechia.
OVHcloud sells .cz, but none of them has been established to bill in CZK or to run a Czech-language storefront. Where we have simply not checked, the table above says so rather than counting it against them.
For .cz 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 CZK; does not sell .cz; no Czech-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 Czechia: the conditions it misses are in the column above.

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.
Pricing fetched from each registrar's own pricing page on the date shown. Local registrars may bill in CZK and add VAT/GST/sales tax on top.

What this page does not tell you: how the registrars based in Czechia compare. We list 48 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 Czech Koruna (CZK), 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.
