About the .HU domain
What is the .HU domain?
Before 2025, registration required the holder to be an individual or company established in the European Union, or the owner of a trademark registered in Hungary. Since 2025, the Hungarian registrar fully liberalized this policy: it now allows registration of .hu domains by people and companies from any country in the world, as long as they can justify activity motivating use of the extension, and an administrative contact in Hungary is no longer required. Technical registration requires a minimum of two nameservers, which must return correct zone information and have a working MX record with the postmaster@ address.
