Armenia won’t follow Kazakhstan’s suit in providing Armenian websites with local hosting

Armenia does not intend to follow the suit of Kazakhstan, where websites, registered with .kz domain zone must be provided with a hosting inside the country to enable tracking of their work.

As the Internet-Society NGO vice-chairman Grigor Sahyan told a news conference in Yerevan, Armenia does not plan to implement such a restriction.

According to Mr. Sahyan, currently, there’s equal number of residents and non-residents registered with .am domain zone. The hosting for about 20% of Armenia-oriented websites is provided locally, Mr. Sahyan said.
