Hungary ccTLD
Register a .hu domain
Register a .hu domain and put your business on Hungary's own corner of the internet. Hungary has run its own domain since 1990, well before most of the world had a national registry to speak of. It's overseen today by the Council of Hungarian Internet Providers (ISzT) through ISzT Nonprofit Kft, and — despite the age and pedigree — anyone worldwide can still register one directly, no EU entity or Hungarian address required.
$102.00/yr
Currently renews at $102.00/year. Minimum 1-year registration: $102.00 before tax.
Privacy free
Who picks .hu?
- Companies with an EU or Hungarian legal entity opening or expanding into the Hungarian market
- Trademark holders in Hungary protecting their brand locally
- Agencies building a Hungarian-facing site on behalf of a client with EU presence
What it signals
A .hu ending is read by Hungarian shoppers and by Google's local ranking signals as a deliberate choice, not a fallback from a taken .com — it says you built specifically for this market.
Pros
- Register at one price, renew at the same price — no year-two markup buried in the fine print
- One of Europe's oldest ccTLDs, still actively used and trusted by Hungarian consumers rather than treated as a novelty
- WHOIS privacy included at no cost wherever the .hu framework allows it
- We handle SPF/DKIM/DMARC configuration so mail sent from your new .hu address reaches the inbox from day one
- Native support for Hungarian accented characters (á, é, í, ó, ö, ő, ú, ü, ű) right in the domain name itself
Watch-outs
- A narrow audience next to .com or .de — worth it mainly if you're actually selling into Hungary
- Registry review adds roughly two business days to registration and renewal versus an instant gTLD
- Certain reserved second-level categories (government/organizational namespaces) run under separate eligibility rules from ordinary .hu registration
