.ar is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Argentina, administered by NIC Argentina.

Registration

Registering an .ar domain (like website.ar) directly is allowed as of 2020.

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.

Second-level domains

As of January 2017 there are currently 12 second-level domains.

In November 2008, a resolution approved the use of special characters in domain names, including ñ, ç, á, é, í ó, ú, ä, ë, ï, ö, and ü.

The .gob.ar domain was also approved for government entities (.gob stands for "gobierno", government in Spanish).
