The .UZ Domain Zone is 30 Years Old!

On this occasion, UZINFOCOM organized a celebratory event attended by representatives of government bodies, IT companies, internet service providers, as well as domain registrars in the .UZ zone.

Among the speakers were representatives from reputable international organizations:

• ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers),

• H3C Technologies (a global provider of digital infrastructure solutions),

• RIPE NCC (the Regional Internet Registry covering Europe, the Middle East, and Central Asia),

• APTLD (Asia Pacific Top Level Domain Association),

• UNESCO, and representatives of major national domain registries, such as .AZ (Azerbaijan), .AM (Armenia), .BY (Belarus), .IN (India), .KG (Kyrgyzstan), .KZ (Kazakhstan), .RU/.РФ (Russia).

The event program included thematic panel sessions where guests discussed key digital trends and challenges of the global network, the latest security solutions, the implementation of new protocols and technologies, strategies for promoting domain and hosting services, as well as domain auctions, and the application of AI, blockchain, and NFTs in the internet ecosystem.

A highlight of the event was the launch of IPv6 protocol support in the national .UZ domain zone — an important step towards modernizing the country's network infrastructure.

In addition, a memorandum was signed between UZINFOCOM (.UZ) and the Kazakh Network Information Center KazNIC (.KZ), aimed at developing bilateral cooperation, knowledge exchange, and the implementation of joint initiatives in the field of domain zone management and internet infrastructure.
