About Nic.pr

"Gauss Research Laboratory Inc" (GRL-INC) is the managing organization of the Puerto Rico's top level domain under the website. They operate the website nic.pr, which stands for the Network Information Center of Puerto Rico.

They operate according to the ccNSO and ICANN agreements and currently participate in various working groups such as the Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs) and the ccNSO regions. Nic.pr has already implemented IPV6, Anycast and DNSSEC technology.

Acquiring a .pr TLD has a cost of $1,000.00USD, which might explain the current lack of .pr usage -- appending "pr" to a .com domain seems to be preferred.
