Hey was checking out prices for domain registration and the company I checked for a .cr was $110 a year...is that right?

Can anyone recommend a good registrar? I used GoDaddy for my .ca's and .coms but they don't offer CR domains.

Thanks

It was checking out some legalities of being here and I was going to register a Costa Rican company then hire myself to get a work permit. Then I don't have to do the 3 months run.

I'm setting up a .com also but figured this might help as well.

If you know anyone who needs counseling or hypnosis work let me know.

´Cause gaycanadianincr.com is already taken.

You can push all you want but even if I was gay...I'm pretty sure I could do a lot better than you...but I'm sure you do very well...

kingbill, there is only ONE registrar for .cr

http://www.nic.cr , if you go that way...........don't tell us we didnt warn you....a buddy of mine is currently in the process of screaming at them for a screw up

it's also 3x the cost of a normal .com (25 dollars for a co.cr /year) and for a .cr it seems to be 100 dollars/year

kingbill, let me ask you this

do you think that I could go to Canada, set up a company and hire myself to work for them? I think you suspect what the answer to that is going to be and that should give you a clue as to why what you propose might not fly

I don't see how getting a .cr is going to help you get a work permit. They are expensive and if you do it then the CR government has control of your domain name and they can take it away, change it or raise your rates at their whim, and they will.

But if you do still want it you can register directly with CR Internic here:

http://www.nic.cr

Better than using a 3rd party.

If you invest enough most definitely.

This was a suggestion from a few people. So I'm going on their advice. The company I work for is working on the paperwork but at the same Time I want to be somewhat protected in case I decide to work somewhere else or work for myself.

If you have other suggestions it would be appreciated.

.

I agree with you, the min investment depends on whether or not the project is related to tourism or not

http://www.migracion.go.cr/permanencia_legal/resid_temp/Residencia Temporal para Inversionistas.pdf

from that link it says 200k and has to 'contribute to the social or economical development of the country' and excludes buying farms/houses/buildings

I remember that there used to be a smaller amount if it was related to tourism

Quite frankly, unless you are seriously commited to the country and have lived here for say a couple of years and know what you are dealing with, you are better off doing the 3 month run

Regardless, best of luck in your endevours

Thank you for the Advice, it's appreciated. I'm committed to CR, I was down here for 7 months in 2005 and spent the past 4 years looking for ways to come back, but obviously 200k is out of the question right now.

It's hard to sell domains in CR, we'll have to wait at least 6 more years!!

I have:

festivaldelaluz.com
fiestasdesanjose.com
RF300.com (Rolando Fonseca's brand of clothing)
cristiananassar.com (don't ask me why)
