There are about 486.000 internet addresses in Vietnam with the “.vn” domain.

Director of the Vietnam Internet Network Information Centre, Tran Minh Tan, released the figure at a conference on ICT law enforcement on Thursday.  Tan said the domain is open to registration on an equal, non-discriminatory and first-come-first-served basis, excluding the specially protected domains and those reserved for auction in accordance with Ministry of Information and Communications regulations.

Speaking at the conference, Deputy Minister of Information and Communications Pham Anh Tuan asked provinces and centrally-governed cities to step up the registration and use of the “.vn” domain in order to enhance the value of the national TLD.
