2000:
Ÿ Asia Paci c Network Information Center (APNIC) allocated the IP addresses directly to IP members which were Vietnamese ISPs (VNPT, VIETTEL, FPT)
of IPv6 network and services
Ÿ The project “Promotion of IPv6 deployment for ASEAN ICT SMEs” was started by VNNIC
2014:
Ÿ MIC issued a decision on amending the the national action plan of IPv6, adding more participants such as online newspaper, information portals, social networks, “.vn” domain registrars, international domain registrars in Vietnam, software companies, and network equipment providers, to the plan

storage and Internet domain names took
effect from 1st September 2014
By allowing the auction and transfer of the
right to use in telecommunication number
storage and Internet domain name, this
D e c i s i o n w a s c o n s i d e r e d t o b e a
breakthrough for the market of “.vn” domain
names, forcing the development of “.vn”

increase in both Aug and Sep 2014, while it can be seen from the below table that some other ccTLDs
witnessed a fall in the growth rate, or even negative development Until Oct 2014, the overall growth
rate of “.vn” reached 9.4%, and was expected to reach 13% at the end of 2014 After the introduction of

Trang 142.3 Quantity and ratio of new registrations/renewals/withdrawals
The statistics of “.vn” new registrations, withdrawals and renewals in the years of 2012, 2013 and 2014
showed that there was a steady rise in the number of new registrations and renewals, which re ects
the sustainable development and customer loyalty of the “.vn” domain

Figure 6: “.vn” Withdrawals (2012, 2013, 2014)
There was a slight increase in the number of “.vn” withdrawals in 2014, when the cumulative number
of domains registered in the system goes up Therefore, the ratios between the new registrations, withdrawals and renewals will be taken into consideration, in order to estimate the development and persistence of the Vietnam ccTLD as follows:
10/2014 2013 2012 2011 2010
Figure 7: “.vn” Withdrawals/New registrations, Withdrawals/Renewals (2010 - 2014)
As it can be seen from the gure above, during the period from 2010 to 2014, the peak development
of “.vn” domain occurred in 2011, with the lowest ratio of withdrawals/new registrations in 5 years In
2013 and 2014, this ratio climbed to nearly 67%, which proved the saturation of the domain market
On the other hand, the Withdrawals/Renewals ratio has not much changed over the period, reaching 43.7% in 2014, as a result of the effort of VNNIC and registrars to compensate for the difficulties in developing new registrations Customer loyalty and steady growth are considered as two important strengths of ccTLDs, in comparison with gTLDs During recent years, “.vn” domain names have been maintaining those two characteristics
