The domain name is the online “signboard” of a company, the company’s brand name on internet. Over the past period of time, there were quite many companies who were slow, took less care of their brand-names, which led to the loss of their brand-names. To let their brand-name operate on internet, however, this “online signboard” requires to have a place to hang it, or in other words, to have an office for it. That is the space for storing the website – or web hosting. And email one of the means of communications on internet. So, to step in internet, a business is required to have a domain name, one web hosting and one email address.

Vietnamese domains are protected by Vietnam Domain Management Center – VNNIC. Visit VNNIC website, there are 13 official registrars. In recent 3 years, Vietnamese domains have been popular among Vietnamese businesses. Through some changes in VNNIC’s policies, Vietnamese domains have become popular and contributed to the development of IT, E-commerce in Vietnam. Mat Bao Company is chosen as an official registrar of VNNIC. Presently, Mat Bao is organizing some programs in order to introduce Vietnamese domains to local and international businesses.
