About .hr Domains
CARNet or Croatian Academic and Research Network is in charge of administering .hr domains, which pretty much explains why they are also known as Carnet domains. This is being done through the CARNet DNS Committee that determines the policy, as well as the CARNet DNS Service which is the one that handles the daily matters.
This Committee is made up of members that are generally connected with the academic community. The SRCE used to operate the Service up to the year 2010. Since the 1st of July 2010, the operations of the service were then divided by among SRCE, CARNet itself, and several registrars.
The registrants are being classified into a varied number of groups with various rules regarding the registrations of their domains. The requirement of being connected to Croatia, such as being a permanent resident, a registered company, or a citizen is common to all the categories with .com.hr being the only exception.
