Learn about the guidelines and features of .kr and .co.kr domains.

You can register, or connect domains ending in .kr and .co.kr at Squarespace. These domains are a great option if you have a business or professional presence in South Korea.

The .kr and .co.kr country code top-level domain (ccTLD) follows different rules than most other TLDs we offer. This guide covers certain special requirements and exceptions from Squarespace and the relevant organization that oversees .kr and .co.kr domain registration. To learn more about these requirements and exceptions, visit TLD registry policies.

To find a domain's price, you can search for it on our domain name search page or in your domains dashboard.

Features of .kr and .co.kr domains

Review the table below to learn about the unique features and rules of registering a domain ending in .kr or .co.kr. If you connect a .kr or .co.kr domain to your site from a third-party provider, these guidelines don’t apply.
Feature Rules
Domain locking You can’t lock these domains.
Local presence requirement To register a .kr or .co.kr domain, you need to have a South Korean address. Local businesses need to enter a local Korean business registration number.
Supported characters You can use Korean characters when registering a .kr domain, but not a .co.kr domain.
Registration grace period There’s no grace period to cancel these domains and no refunds. Before registering the domain, ensure you want to keep it. Double-check the domain for typos.
Domain registrant verification emails Your domain registrar and the domain name registry, Korea Internet and Security Agency (KISA), may email you to confirm your contact details. Always read these messages to ensure your domain doesn't expire or get suspended. If you're unsure if an email is legitimate, contact the registry or your registrar to verify the request.
Renewals We charge these domains for renewal at least 18 days before the official expiration date shown in your public records and on your domains dashboard. If your payment fails, you have 15 days from that initial renewal charge date to renew your domain before it expires. The renewal date listed in the domain details page is the last possible date you can submit a renewal payment, which is earlier than when the domain officially expires. The auto-renew option locks so that you can't enable or disable auto-renew when your domain is within three days of renewal.
Expired domains These domains don’t have an expiration grace period. If the domain expires, it will no longer appear in your domains dashboard. If your domain can’t be renewed, contact us to confirm if the domain can be reactivated. Keep in mind, there may be a redemption fee to restore the domain in addition to the current domain price. The fee varies by TLD and appears in your order summary at checkout.
Free domain offer These domains aren’t eligible for the free domain offer.
Domain transfers It's not currently possible to transfer .kr or .co.kr domains to Squarespace. When transferring away from Squarespace, transfer authentication codes are valid for 30 days. If the code expires, request a new one.
Privacy Whois privacy isn't available.
