# Best domain registrars in South Korea

None of the registrars we track sell .kr — it is delegated only to KISA / KRNIC-accredited registrars (find an accredited registrar via KISA / KRNIC at xn--3e0b707e.kr). For a .com from South Korea, Porkbun has the lowest verified long-run cost, Cloudflare Registrar suits developers, and Namecheap is the familiar choice for non-technical owners.

- Notes: Registered through KISA/KRNIC-accredited registrars.
