.kh
.kh is the ccTLD for Cambodia. The letters "kh" were given after the majority ethnic group of Cambodia, the Khmer people. It is managed by the Telecommunication Regulator of Cambodia (TRC).[1]
Delegation & History[edit | edit source]
The delegation history of the .kh domain, Cambodia's country code top-level domain (ccTLD), traces back to its introduction on February 20, 1996. Initially, the Ministry of Post and Telecommunications of Cambodia managed the administration of .kh from 1997 onward. In September 2012, the responsibility for administering the .kh domain was transferred to the Telecommunication Regulator of Cambodia (TRC), which currently oversees the domain's registration and regulation processes[2]. The .kh domain is specifically intended for use by entities with a connection to Cambodia, such as Cambodian-registered companies, government agencies, organizations, and citizens, who are the only eligible registrants.
Rules and Restrictions[edit | edit source]
To register directly under .kh, one must provide a Certified copy of Khmer national ID. It is intended for business and personal websites.[3]
