New rules for .KZ and .ҚАЗ country-code top-level domain (ccTLD)

By , CEO and founder · Published on · 1 min read

The new regulation requires all websites registered under the .KZ and .ҚАЗ country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) to obtain a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate, which provides website authentication and enables an encrypted connection. SSL certificates confirm that the website host has demonstrated ownership over the domain to the certificate authority at the time of certificate issuance. SSL certificates may be issued by any web hosting provider either for free or for a fee. Using SSL certificates for .KZ and .ҚАЗ domain names was previously voluntary.

In addition, websites with domain names registered under the .KZ and .ҚАЗ ccTLD must be hosted on hardware and software systems located on the territory of Kazakhstan.

There are 13 accredited domain name registrars in Kazakhstan authorized to register .KZ and .ҚАЗ domain names and provide web hosting services. There are approximately 140,000 domain names currently registered under the .KZ and .ҚАЗ ccTLD.
