I need to register a .COM.BR domain for a (Portuguese-language) client. I understand a local contact is needed in order to register a Brazilian domain, and that several registration providers offer such a service. Can anyone recommend a registrar for Brazilian domains for a foreign company? The cheapest I've found so far is $130 US.
To resgister Brazilian domains is http://www.registro.br/ is the oficial place, it cost 30R (about 13USD), you need to create an user and you provide an CPNJ (is a number that identifies the companies for taxes and juridic stuff) hope it helps
domainer.com.br US$35.00 USD for one year/renewals (There is always some risk, Brazil is one of the wort placesto register domains)
Thanks for the responses cornchild and YesBrilliant - positive rep added . I'll go for domainer.com.br as I don't have a CPNJ.
why is that? Brasil is an emerging Country, certainly not the best place where to find security but cerainly not the worst one.
