About the .KZ domain
What is the .KZ domain?
Registration requires no residency or citizenship: people and organizations from any country can register a .kz domain, though in practice this usually requires going through a local registrar or having an administrative contact in the country. The standard application is submitted to an accredited registrar, specifying the requested domain name, the organization or person who will use it, the administrative contact, and the linked IP addresses and DNS servers. A relevant technical feature: new and re-registered domains must be linked to nameservers located within Kazakhstan itself, a requirement that in practice is not available to most non-Kazakhstani entities without collaboration from a local provider.
