The Vietnam Internet Network Information Centre (VNNIC) under the Ministry of Information and Communications on June 29 officially announced the change of its brand identity on the Internet with the Vietnamese national domain name '.vn'.
The fourth COVID-19 outbreak has severely affected Vietnamese trade. However, many businesses in the country have taken advantage of this difficult time to make a transition from traditional business to that in the digital environment.
An office for registration of national domain name “.vn” has been inaugurated in Dong Thap province, becoming the first of its kind in the Mekong Delta locality.
About 486,000 internet addresses had been registered with Vietnam’s top-level domain (TLD) “.vn” as of September 30, which tops all other ASEAN domains and is among Asia-Pacific’s top ten in terms of usage.
As many as 739 cyber attacks were detected by the monitoring and warning system of the Vietnam Computer Emergency Rescue Team (VCERT) under the Ministry of Information and Communications (MoIC) in May, the team reported on June 14.
The total number of national registered domain names with “.vn” reached 453,979 as of last month, an increase of 9.33 percent over the same period last year, according to the Vietnam Internet Network Information Centre.
The availability of a series of new foreign domain names in the Vietnamese market is offering more choices to local companies and opening up new opportunities for domain name registrars.
The Vietnam Internet Network Information Centre (VNNIC) urged that the management and oversight of websites using international domain names be strengthened to prevent violations.
Owners of websites with the Vietnamese domain name “.vn” can now transfer domain names directly following a circular that was promulgated last year finally coming into effect, said the Vietnam Internet Network Information Centre (VNNIC).
Customers who want to use Vietnamese domain names can register through registrars instead of registering with the Vietnam Internet Network Information Centre (VNNIC) from April 15.
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to promote brand building and e-commerce development to enhance competitiveness at a recent workshop on e-commerce in southern Can Tho City.
Vietnamese enterprises have registered a total of more than 200,000 .vn domain names, according the Vi etnam Internet Network Information Centre (VNNIC).
The Vietnamese domain name “.vn” is still leading ASEAN in the number of registrations, according to the Vietnam Internet Network Information Centre (VNNIC).
Only a low proportion of Vietnamese companies have registered their domain name using “.vn”, according to the Vietnam Internet Network Information Centre.
