Whois
.kr registrar in South Korea, read from its own storefront on 2026-09-29
Accredited by KISAAlso accredited by 4 other registries
Can a member of the public buy a .kr here?
Not established. .kr was not among the namespaces on the page read on 2026-09-29. That is a fact about the page we read, not a finding that the registrar does not sell it.
Why it is not ranked
The pages read print no .kr price.
Namespaces on its own page
No namespace list could be read from the page.
What its page printed
Homepage read (후이즈 - 대한민국 1위 도메인); no .kr price printed. /domain/price.php returned a not-found page.
Read from https://whois.co.kr/ on 2026-09-29. A storefront read establishes the language, the currency and the figure the page printed that day. It does not establish support quality, uptime or what a renewal will cost next year.
How the South Korea storefronts were read
Nine of the 15 registrars on KISA's English .kr registrar page were opened in a real browser. Doregi, Halfdomain and Mailplug print a .kr price in won with its VAT treatment; Gabia prints a VAT-inclusive figure not tied to .kr, Hosting.kr, Whois and iNames showed no .kr price on the pages reached, and Dotname (403 bot check) and Asadal (plain-http redirect) could not be read. .kr and .co.kr are priced the same on every page that prices both. On 2026-10-14 the remaining 6 registrars on KISA's list that publish a website were opened, so every registrar on the list with a published website has now been tried: 4 were read, 2 could not be, and 0 more print a comparable .kr price.
