Internet country-code top level domain for Argentina From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
.ar is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Argentina. It is administered by NIC Argentina. Registering an .ar domain (like website.ar) directly is allowed as of 2020.[2] Previously, only 9 of the second-level domains listed below were open for registration, and a local presence in Argentina was required. As of August 2024, some new augmented reality companies are using domains directly under the .ar TLD.[3]
