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
Renews at the same price. No tricks.
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

Common questions about .hu domains
How much does a .hu domain cost?
A .hu domain is $102.00 per year at Modusdom, and it renews at the same $102.00 every year — no discounted first year that jumps later.
Does a .hu domain renew at the same price?
Yes. Our renewal price equals our first-year price — written into our promises — so your .hu stays $102.00/yr in year 1, year 2, and year 10. Most registrars advertise a cheap first year, then quietly renew higher.
Do I get free WHOIS privacy on a .hu domain?
Yes — free WHOIS privacy is included on every .hu domain, hiding your name, address, email and phone from the public WHOIS record at no extra cost.
Can I transfer an existing .hu domain to Modusdom?
Yes. Transfers are free and add a year to your registration. Unlock the domain at your current registrar, copy the EPP/auth code, and start the transfer — we walk you through it, and your website and email keep working the whole time.
