An internet presence, including the '.vn' national domain, is key to helping domestic enterprises and business households build brands for products and services and develop online business professionally and sustainably, said Deputy Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Huy Dung.
Using the national domain '.vn' also contributes to building and protecting our national digital sovereignty in cyberspace, he said.
To strongly promote the digital transformation, development of a digital Government, the digital economy and digital society, the ministry has recently implemented an initiative to universalise the '.vn' national domain with two special policies: two years of free domain names at 'biz.vn' or 'id.vn', with basic digital services.
