More than 4,600 domain names with new domain extensions AI.VN, IO.VN and ID.VN have been issued in the first 19 days since they became available.
Three new domain name extensions associated with digital transformation including AI.VN, ID.VN and IO.VN have been open for people to register for since June 1.
In particular, ID.VN is for Vietnamese citizens registered to promote personal images, products and brands through websites, online CVs, or blogs.
IO.VN is for organisations and individuals to register to use digital technology applications, platforms and services online.
AI.VN is for organisations and individuals registered for activities and services related to the field of artificial intelligence (AI).
Circular 20 dated April 13, 2023, of the Ministry of Finance on the schedule of fees and charges for internet resources took effect from the beginning of this month.
The highlight of the new circular is the preferential policy of fees and charges in the registration and use of domain names in order to facilitate and encourage people and businesses to exploit the values of using .VN domain names. This especially applies to those associated with digital services such as e-commerce, blogging, and email solutions. All of this contributes to the development of the digital economy and society.
A representative of the Vietnam Internet Network Information Centre (VNNIC) said that according to Circular 20, the registration fee for most .VN domain names has been reduced deeply, with the most heavily discounted seeing a 91.6 per cent drop in price.
These incentives are adjusted to ensure wide coverage of users. Businesses and individuals can easily own national domain names and apply them to real use cases such as opening online stores and building personal brands.
In the newly updated circular on June 19, VNNIC said that the new domain name space policy for digital transformation has met the needs of people and businesses.
According to statistics, after 19 days, registrars have issued more than 4,600 domain names with new domain extensions AI.VN, IO.VN and ID.VN, accounting for about 36 per cent of newly-issued domain names in one month.
Notably, VNNIC's data has recorded the trend of personal branding on the internet.
Specifically, immidiately after the new domain name extension ID.VN was opened, there were nearly 2,000 registered domains and now the number is in excess of 3,100. — VNS
