The technology sector is rapidly expanding in Brazil and globally, with new businesses and products being introduced regularly, significantly changing our lifestyles, work habits, and relationships. Technology has become an integral part of our daily lives, influencing the products we use, the places we visit, and our modes of communication.
A portion of the progress we witness today can be attributed to the internet, enabling global access to information and individuals while facilitating the emergence of new job opportunities and workplaces. Nowadays, individuals or businesses with internet connectivity can freely share ideas and promote services on various platforms and social media networks.
Registration.br introduced new .br domain extensions in response to global trends and input from Brazilian institutions and professionals, catering to sectors like technology, logistics, and design that previously lacked their own .br category.
The Registry has launched new extensions.
12 additional .br domain extensions were introduced, such as .app.br, .dev.br, and .tec.br, expanding the existing 130+ DPNs in Registration.br to cater to various entities and locations in Brazil.
The project was created with input from the public, according to Demi Getschko, CEO of NIC.br. The new domains being launched on the 20th are a result of suggestions from professionals and institutions looking to improve their online presence.
Demi Getschko emphasizes the significance of developing new domain extensions to provide more options for users to choose appropriate names for their online activities, services, products, or content.

Is it a good idea to opt for the new .br domain extensions?
Consider opting for a new domain ending when registering a .br domain for your website, especially if you work in a field listed and aim to include popular extensions.
You can register the domain through the Registry.br or a hosting company to understand the advantages and disadvantages of each option, it is suggested to read an article on this topic.
You can also choose to register your address in an international domain with features like domain privacy. However, .br domains provide advantages that may make this option more favorable.
The initial cost is affordable and consistent, starting at R $ 40 in 2017 (previously R $ 30 for 13 years), with additional discounts for extended durations. Registration. br provides the most budget-friendly option for domain registration and renewal.
The collection is done in Brazilian Real and its price is not affected by changes in the dollar exchange rate. Recent months have seen a significant increase in .br domain registrations despite the strong appreciation of the American currency.
Registry.br offers a free domain redirection service, allowing users to redirect their domain to a social network at no cost. Instructions on utilizing this feature can be found in our tutorial.
Not all international special extensions, such as .life, .biz, and .space, are as relevant to the Brazilian public as the .br domains, which are tailored for specific sectors or professions in Portuguese.

I decided to compare using standard prices, without taking into account any first-year promotional offers commonly found in domain registration companies. This is because the renewal price becomes more significant starting from the second year.
The prices of .br domain extensions are significantly lower than those of international extensions, a common trend among companies that all source from the same registry.
The Brazilian domain version provides the best value for money, making it easier for professionals and companies in Brazil to have unique domain categories tailored to their sectors at an affordable price. 🙂
