.cd is the ccTLD for the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). It is managed by the Office Congolais des Postes et Télécommunications (OCPT) according to the IANA database[1], however, the name was changed to Société Congolaise des Postes et Télécommunications (SCPT).[2]
Also, on the website given by IANA, we only have an explanation about why CONIC, Webnet Africa, Mikuba are no longer allowed to manage .cd.
There is another website, hosting.cd, that is part of SCPT, where it is possible to buy a .cd domain name.
History[edit | edit source]
.cd was created in 1997 as a replacement for the .zr (Zaire) ccTLD, considering that the name of Zaire was changed to the "Democratic Republic of the Congo". .zr was phased out and eventually deleted in 2001.[3]
