.cr
The .cr domain extension is the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Costa Rica, managed by National Academy of Sciences of Costa Rica. This domain extension is typically used by Costa Rican businesses, organizations, and individuals to show their association with the country. Some institutions may also use .cr domain for clever domain hacks due to its resemblance to .com or .net.

Notably, the .cr domain extension also supports Spanish characters enabling native language URL registration.
