Peru ccTLD

Register a .pe domain

Skip .com.pe's extra syllable — a direct .pe domain is open worldwide and reads sharper to Lima customers, at a renewal price that holds steady. .pe is Peru's country-code domain, run by NIC.pe (Red Científica Peruana) since 1991, and open to registrants worldwide — no Peruvian residency, local company, or trademark required for the standalone .pe. It's the natural pick for anyone building toward Lima or the wider Peruvian market, where .com.pe is the entrenched default and a bare .pe stands out as shorter and more modern. Modusdom configures SPF, DKIM, and DMARC for you, plus free WHOIS privacy wherever the registry allows it.

$74.50/yr Renews at the same price. No tricks. Privacy free

Who picks .pe?

Businesses opening or operating in Peru who want a domain that reads as locally rooted from the first glance
Established companies expanding into the Peruvian market alongside an existing global .com brand
Lima-based startups and agencies who want something shorter and cleaner than the standard .com.pe

What it signals

Pros

Open registration worldwide — no residency or local-contact requirement for .pe itself, unlike some neighboring ccTLDs
Shorter and more modern-looking than the entrenched .com.pe convention Peruvian buyers are used to
Flat renewal price locked in from year one — no bait-and-switch jump later
Done-for-you email authentication (SPF/DKIM/DMARC) so mail actually lands in inboxes
Free WHOIS privacy applied automatically where NIC.pe permits it

Watch-outs

Not the cheapest .pe registrar out there — flat renewal pricing, not a rock-bottom teaser rate
Peruvian buyers are conditioned to see .com.pe on established businesses, so a bare .pe may briefly read as newer until the brand is known
Smaller pool of well-known .pe sites than .com, so some visitors may need a beat to parse the ending

Registry restrictions

The second-level .pe is generally open to registrants globally with no residency or local-presence requirement. NIC.pe also administers purpose-restricted third-level categories (such as .gob.pe for Peruvian government entities and .edu.pe for accredited educational institutions) alongside open categories like .com.pe, .net.pe, .org.pe, and .nom.pe — this landing page is specifically about the open, direct second-level .pe.

Common questions about .pe domains

How much does a .pe domain cost?

A .pe domain is $74.50 per year at Modusdom, and it renews at the same $74.50 every year — no discounted first year that jumps later.

Does a .pe domain renew at the same price?

Yes. Our renewal price equals our first-year price — written into our promises — so your .pe stays $74.50/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 .pe domain?

Yes — free WHOIS privacy is included on every .pe domain, hiding your name, address, email and phone from the public WHOIS record at no extra cost.

Can I transfer an existing .pe 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.

Is a .pe domain right for my business?

Choosing .pe over .com.pe or a generic .com tells Peruvian visitors your business made a deliberate, current-generation choice to root itself in Peru — the kind of signal that matters most to companies opening a Lima office or building a Spanish-language storefront from scratch. It is a strong fit for: Businesses opening or operating in Peru who want a domain that reads as locally rooted from the first glance; Established companies expanding into the Peruvian market alongside an existing global .com brand; Lima-based startups and agencies who want something shorter and cleaner than the standard .com.pe.
