The management of the global domain Internet space, as well as the system of central servers that ensure the functioning of the DNS (Domain Name System) system, is realized through an independent organization ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers). CARNET (Croatian Academic and Research Network) has been managing the national domain of the Republic of Croatia (.hr) since 1993. All .hr domains are registered in accordance with the Ordinance on the organisation and management of the national top-level domain.
