Farewell to .yu domain campaign in September, October and further

RNIDS would like to remind all the interested that a campaign of renewing present .yu domains would be launched soon. The process of renewing the registration of present .yu domains will begin on November 3rd, 2008 and end on March 2nd, 2009. After this date, the .yu domains which are not renewed, will be deactivated and will not be visible online, meaning that all the Internet services for those domains (е‑mail, web…) will stop functioning. The additional term for renewing .yu domain registrations will start on March 3rd, 2009 and end on April 30th, 2009. If a .yu domain is renewed during that period, it will be reactivated on the Internet. The remaining .yu domains, which are not renewed, will be permanently deleted from the register on May 4th, 2009. Maintaining the .yu register of domain names and advocating information on .yu domains on the Internet will end on September 30th, 2009, regardless of the renewal date. On the very day, .yu domains will stop functioning on the Internet! On September 15th, 2008 at noon, a free domain sale, without reservation, started. During the first 18 hours, a total of 2,756 domains were registered, so that on September 16th, 2008 at 6:00 am, 37,749 .rs domains were registered. On September 25th, 2008...

Prolonging .yu domain registration and finalising its transition to .rs domain

The Serbian National Register of Internet Domain Names would like to inform the Internet users that the process of migrating from the .yu domain to the new national .rs domain is entering its final phase. Until September 10th 2008, present .yu domain owners have the priority when registering the same .rs domain names which were reserved for them. The Priority right expires on September 10th 2008 at noon. All unused reservations of .rs domains will become available to the general public on September 15th 2008 at noon. In reality that means that if a company which has a registered www.firm.co.yu domain does not use its Priority right to register www.firm.co.rs until September 10th 2008, then anyone can register www.firm.co.rs as of September 15th 2008. In this way, the company risks that someone else freely registers this domain and creates a site with the address www.firm.rs, or uses е‑mail addresses ending in @firm.co.rs. We would also like to inform the general public that it would be possible to renew the present .yu domain registrations from November 3rd 2008 to March 2nd 2009. After this term, the .yu domains which have not been renewed will be deactivated and will stop functioning on the Internet. In practice that means that if a company...

48 hours left

RNIDS would like to inform the public that only 48 hours are left until the completion of the re‑registration of .yu domains with the Priority Right. According to estimates, approximately 5,000 companies in Serbia have not used that right yet. There is a threat that these companies lose their online identity. The priority registration of .rs domains expires on Wednesday at noon, when the Priority Right for registering .rs and .co.rs. domains will be gone, whereas effective September 15th of the current year, all domain names from the .YU register not registered in the new .RS registrer, will be available for registration. Until 9:00 am of this very day, a total of 31,980 domains have been registered, 17,048 of which have been re‑registered. In all, there were approximately 40,000 .yu domains. Invitation for press conference in Belgrade On Wednesday, September 3rd 2008, the Serbian National Register of Internet Domain Names organises a press conference in Media Center in Belgrade, 9 Milentija Popovića St (Sava Centre), at 11 am, named Farewell to .yu domain ‑ 7 more days, due to the .yu domain re‑registration process and the ending of the transition period. Members of the Managing Board of RNIDS, as well as its Acting Director will be talking at...

Press release of the RNIDS from press conference

A total of 23,668 domains have been registered to date, June 20th 2008, i.e. 103 days from the beginning of .rs domain registrations. The trend of, primarily, .rs domain registrations is expected to continue. Being the national and the shortest domain, .rs is obviously the most interesting domain to the Internet community. RNIDS also hopes to intensify the registration of .gov.rs domains after negotiations with the Public Administration. This will mark the end of the association of Serbia with the .yu domain, which will also have advantages for us as users of state services. RNIDS would also like to invite registrants of .yu domains to accelerate the process of migrating to the .rs domain so that the Transition Commission, registrars and RNIDS can finalise the transition from .yu to .rs without any problems to those who use the Internet as a business tool. We also made a promise at the conference that until August 1st 2008 the public would be informed about the manners of using .yu domains after September 10th 2008. RNIDS also states that the 25,000th registered domain will get a free annual registration. Media will be timely informed about the domain registered as the 25,000th one. With this symbolic action, RNIDS wishes to...

20,000 .rs domains registered

A total of 20,134 .rs domains have been registered until May 20th 2008, at 01:00 pm, i.e. 72 days after the commencement of the registration process. This data shows that the Internet community is eager to begin using the new national domain as soon as possible. This trend is expected to continue. Statistics on the number of registered domains, updated on a daily basis, can be found at www.rnids.rs. The process of registering the new .rs domain and replacing the old national domain began on March 10th. In the period of six months from this date, owners of old .yu domains have the Priority Right to register the same domain names with the .rs prefix.

Call for reporting disputable .yu domains

The Transition Commission of RNIDS would like to invite Registrars and the Internet community to take a more active part in reporting disputable .yu domains. Timely detecting and solving problems connected with the .yu register will ensure that there will be no damaged parties on September 10th, when all unregistered .yu domains will become available for registration. Meetings of the Transition Commission are held at least twice a week. The aim of the Commission and RNIDS is to enable pre‑registration of the largest possible number of disputable .yu domains before the final deadline.
