.ar is the national domain extension for Argentina, and is administered by NIC Argentina. For a long time, domain names could only be registered under .com.ar and similar sub-extensions, but you can now register directly under .ar, giving you a shorter and more memorable address.

Argentina is one of South America’s largest economies, with a population of over 45 million. If you want to reach Argentine customers, the .ar extension reinforces your local presence and credibility, and also helps your website appear in local search results.
