Frequently asked questions about the .BR domain

What is the difference between .br and .com.br?

.com.br is the traditional and most widely used format by Brazilian companies — company.com.br — and requires having a registered company in Brazil. The direct .br has no restrictions and is available to anyone in the world. .br is shorter and more modern, but .com.br remains the format with the greatest recognition for the Brazilian consumer.

Does .br require Brazilian presence?

No for the direct .br. Anyone in the world can register a .br without a local presence. .com.br does require a registered company in Brazil.

Does .br rank well in Google for Brazilian searches?

Yes. Google uses the ccTLD as a geographical signal: a .br signals that the site is relevant for searches from Brazil. For projects active in the Brazilian market, .br can improve positioning in geolocated searches in Brazil.

Does .br have fixed registration and renewal pricing?

Yes. .br maintains the same price of $15.99/year for both initial registration and renewals.

Is .br or .lat better for a company operating across all of Latin America?

If the focus is specifically Brazil, .br gives a stronger signal of local presence and trust in the Brazilian market. If the focus is Latin America as a region, .lat ($29.99/year) may be more coherent as a URL covering the entire continent.

Can I transfer my .br domain to miHosting?

Yes. The transfer has no additional cost. You need the authorisation code (Auth Code) from your current registrar. The process takes 5 to 7 business days.
