Bulgaria registers first domain in Cyrillic

Photo: library

The first address using a .бг domain in Cyrillic is now on the Internet. The Bulgarian domain appeared on the Internet after the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) approved the application of Имена.БГ (names). Имена.БГ is the first Bulgarian web address which is available entirely in Cyrillic. The first stage of the registration (sunrise) will last for three months. Priority will be given to trademarks or company names whose name request is well-founded. Bulgaria’s Ministry of Transport, Information Technology and Telecommunications announced that it is setting up a list that will lock names of state institutions and municipalities, in order to guarantee good reputation of the new domain.
