Hungary uses .hu, .co.hu, 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 8 local storefronts read on 2026-09-29, DotRoll prints the lowest standing .hu price: HUF 1,842 incl. VAT, then DomainTank at HUF 2,000 incl. VAT. ISZT accredits 120 registrars to sell .hu; none of them is tested or scored here. Global registrars that sell .hu in US dollars are the global option for a buyer in Hungary, not a recommendation in it.
Registrars accredited by ISZT Nonprofit Kft. (domain.hu)
These 120 companies are accredited by the Hungary registry to sell .hu. Every figure below is a fact the registry publishes, read from its accredited-registrar list on 2026-09-29.
ISZT Nonprofit Kft. (domain.hu) publishes 120 registrars under contract for .hu. Of those, it lists 0 as offering DNSSEC.
We do not reproduce all 120 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: ISZT Nonprofit Kft. (domain.hu) 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 Hungarian site, bill in HUF and sell .hu?
Three conditions decide whether a registrar can be recommended in Hungary 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 Hungarian 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.

No registrar tracked here is recorded as selling .hu.
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 .hu: ISZT-accredited registrars, read from their own storefronts
Eight Hungarian registrars from the 120 on domain.hu's list were opened on 2026-09-29, plus Hostinger's Hungarian page. Five print a .hu price with bruttó or ÁFA wording and are ranked, between 1 842 Ft and 3 301 Ft a year including 27% ÁFA. Rackhost answered with a 403 bot wall, the Magyar Telekom address returned 404 and 1B Domain prints no price; the registry list prints names only, so websites are recorded only where a storefront was read.
Ordered by the standing .hu 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 27% 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.

Best options in Hungary
No registrar we track meets all three local conditions in Hungary.
No registrar we track is recorded as selling .hu at all, so the namespace condition fails before language or currency is reached.
For .hu 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 HUF; does not sell .hu; no Hungarian-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 Hungary: 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: Council of Hungarian Internet Providers (CHIP)
Local presence: Yes, for names directly under .hu. Citizens and legal entities of the EU, the Council of Europe, the EEA or EFTA member states and the countries bordering Hungary may apply directly; others must carry out or start an economic or other activity justifying the use. A Hungarian postal address must be supplied. Second-level public domains such as .co.hu are open to any domestic or foreign natural person or legal entity.
DNSSEC: Signed at the root
IDN: Hungarian accented characters are supported in .hu names.
Applicants must be legal entities or natural persons over 18. The Hungarian postal address requirement is the condition foreign buyers most often miss.
Purpose: Hungary's country code at the second level, the standard Hungarian business identity.
Eligibility: Restricted. Open to citizens and legal entities of the EU, Council of Europe, EEA or EFTA states and Hungary's neighbouring countries; others must justify the use through an economic or other activity. A Hungarian postal address is required, and applicants must be legal entities or natural persons over 18.
Tracked registrars that sell .hu
None of the registrars we track sell .hu at retail: see the local registrar list below.
The Council of Hungarian Internet Providers publishes the Domain Registration Policy and the registrar list at domain.hu. The Hungarian address requirement is the part most foreign buyers miss.
.co.hu
Last checked 2026-08-19
Purpose: Second-level public domain, the open alternative when direct .hu eligibility is not met.
Eligibility: Open. Any domestic or foreign natural person or legal entity may apply under a second-level public domain.
Tracked registrars that sell .co.hu
None of the registrars we track sell .co.hu at retail: see the local registrar list below.
This is the practical route for a foreign registrant who cannot meet the direct .hu criteria, and it is worth knowing about before concluding Hungary is closed.

Compared across the 11 registrars whose .com price we have read ourselves.
Most global registrars price domains in USD; local registrars often invoice in HUF.
Can a registrar we track handle Hungary?
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.

What this page does not tell you: how the registrars based in Hungary compare. We list 120 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 Hungarian Forint (HUF), 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. Hungary also applies a local-presence or nexus requirement to at least one of its ccTLDs: see the registry rules above before assuming eligibility.
