Try .kr, .com, .net or any other extension.
A domain is often the first thing people see of a new game, app or brand: on a store listing, in a trailer, on a stream overlay or printed on a parcel. The .kr country code tells visitors that a project has its roots in South Korea, which is valuable for studios, creators and exporters whose Korean identity is part of the appeal. Use the search box on this page to check whether the name you want is available, alongside other extensions for international audiences.
Host South Korea registers .kr and other domain extensions and makes it simple to connect them to a Seoul VPS, dedicated server or website. Registry requirements for .kr names are set by the registry and can change, so we explain them in general terms and confirm details when you order. Prices are shown at checkout or provided on request. Below you will find naming advice, DNS layouts for developers, email authentication and ways to protect your brand.
The .kr country code is compact and recognisable. It signals a Korean origin at a glance, suits game titles and entertainment brands, and often leaves more short names available than crowded global extensions where good words were taken long ago.
Many projects register a global extension next to their .kr name so international players and buyers can find them too. Search several extensions at once and point them all to the same Seoul server or redirect them to your main address.
Type the name you want into the domain search box to check availability before you print it in a trailer or submit it to an app store. Checking early avoids last-minute renaming when a launch date is already fixed.
Domain prices are shown during checkout in the client area, or provided on request through a sales ticket. Ask about specific extensions, multi-year terms or bulk registrations for a portfolio of game titles and product lines.
Connect a domain to your Seoul VPS or dedicated server with a few DNS records: an A record for the main site, CNAMEs for subdomains such as api or play, and MX and TXT records for email.
When your domain points to a website hosted on our Seoul VPS, free SSL certificates can be issued for the main name and its subdomains, so your launch page, API and store all load securely over HTTPS from day one.
Korean culture travels well. Games, webtoons, music, cosmetics and fashion from Korea have fans in every region, and for many of these products the Korean origin is part of what makes them attractive. A .kr domain carries that message in two letters.
A .kr name works best as part of a small set: the Korean domain for Korean-facing content, plus a global extension for international visitors, both pointing to the same infrastructure in Seoul.
Korea's domain space includes the short .kr form as well as second-level categories such as .co.kr for companies and .or.kr for organisations. Global extensions add further options. Each has a place.
Availability and eligibility vary by extension, so search on this page and confirm requirements before announcing a name publicly. If you register more than one, decide which is the primary address and redirect the others to it with permanent redirects, so search engines and visitors always end up in the same place.
Every country code domain is governed by a registry that sets its own policies, and the .kr space is no exception. These rules can change over time, so we describe them generally and confirm specifics when you place an order.
If anything about eligibility is unclear, open a sales ticket before ordering. Sorting out requirements in advance is far easier than fixing them after a launch campaign has started.
A good domain is short, easy to say aloud and hard to misspell – and for a Korean audience, there are a few extra considerations.
Say the name out loud to a few people and ask them to type it. If more than one person spells it differently, keep searching or register the variants too.
Developers can save a lot of trouble later by planning subdomains at the start. A clear structure lets you move individual services between servers without changing anything users or apps have memorised.
Because apps in users' pockets may run old versions for months, the api hostname especially should remain stable for the life of the product. Behind it, you can change servers, add load balancers or move from a VPS to a dedicated server freely.
Once a domain is registered, DNS records tell the internet where its services live. Pointing a name at your Seoul infrastructure takes only a handful of entries.
You can manage DNS with the registrar's nameservers, with a control panel on your VPS, or with a third-party DNS provider. Whichever you choose, keep a written copy of your records so they can be recreated quickly if you ever change providers.
Every DNS record has a TTL, the time resolvers may cache it before asking again. TTL is a small setting with a large effect on how smoothly changes go.
Some resolvers ignore short TTLs or cache longer than requested, so keep the old server running for a while after a move. For a game launch, confirm DNS is final days before release; you do not want players on launch day reaching a staging server through a stale cache. Changes to nameservers themselves can take longer than ordinary record changes, so plan those well ahead.
Account verification codes, purchase receipts, password resets and newsletters all depend on email arriving in the inbox. Proper authentication on your domain is what makes that happen.
Separate sending streams when you can: transactional mail from one subdomain, marketing mail from another. That way, a newsletter that triggers spam complaints does not affect delivery of the codes your players need to log in.
Once a game or product becomes popular, others may try to register similar names to capture traffic or imitate your brand. A few precautions make that much harder.
For studios with several titles, a small domain inventory spreadsheet reviewed each quarter prevents surprises.
Your domain shows up in more places than the address bar. App stores ask for a developer website and privacy policy URL; search engines display it under every result; payment providers and partners check it during onboarding.
A domain alone does not guarantee rankings, but a clear, consistent and secure web presence makes every other marketing effort more effective.
Enter the name you want in the search box on this page to check availability for .kr and other extensions. When you find a name, add it to the cart in the client area at control.serverslot.com. The price for each extension is shown at checkout; for extensions not listed, or for bulk and multi-year registrations, open a sales ticket and request a quote.
Payment methods shown at checkout include cryptocurrency, Visa, Mastercard, PayPal and bank transfer. Provide accurate registrant details during the order, because registries rely on them for ownership and some .kr names may have eligibility requirements.
You can order a domain together with a Seoul VPS, a dedicated server or website hosting so everything is managed in one place. After registration, set your DNS records to point at the server, issue free SSL for your website and confirm email authentication before launch.
Search for your name in the box on this page and add it to the cart; the price is shown at checkout in the client area. If you need a quote for several domains, longer terms or an extension that is not listed, open a sales ticket and the team will provide pricing on request.
It can be, especially if Korea is an important market or the game's Korean origin is part of its appeal. Many studios register a .kr name for Korean-language pages and a global extension for international players, pointing both to the same servers and using one as the primary address.
Requirements are set by the .kr registry and can change over time. Some Korean domain categories may require a connection to Korea or a particular type of registrant. Check the name you want, provide accurate registrant details and open a sales ticket before ordering if you are unsure.
A common layout uses api for the backend, www for the website, cdn for static files, docs for documentation, status for an uptime page and admin for internal tools. Apps should always call a hostname like api rather than an IP, so you can move servers later without shipping an update.
Yes. Create an A record such as play.yourdomain.kr pointing to your Seoul game server's IP. Some games also support SRV records, which let players connect with just the hostname even when the server uses a non-standard port. Check your game's documentation for supported record types.
Resolvers cache DNS records for the TTL period. Lowering it to a few minutes a day before a move means most users pick up the new IP soon after you change the record. Raise it again once the move is complete, and keep the old server running briefly for stragglers.
Yes, if the domain sends any email. SPF lists authorised senders, DKIM signs messages and DMARC tells receivers how to handle failures. Together they keep verification codes, receipts and password resets out of spam folders and make it harder for others to impersonate your brand.
Yes. Add both to the cart in the client area at control.serverslot.com and pay with any of the methods shown at checkout. Once the domain is active, point its A record to the VPS IP, issue a free SSL certificate for the website and set up your email records.
