HKDNR will replace JUCC to administer Hong Kong Network Information Centre ("HKNIC")
With effective from 1 June 2001, Hong Kong Domain Name Registration Company Limited ("HKDNR") will replace JUCC to administer Hong Kong Network Information Centre ("HKNIC"). It will assume the responsibility of registration and assignment of Internet domain names ending with com.hk, org.hk, gov.hk, edu.hk and net.hk; before the future membership-based policy making and administrative body for Hong Kong Internet domain names is established. Details can be found from HKDNR web site.

Domain name template has been changed
Please note that the Domain Name Template has been changed.  Please use a new one (version 3.0) starting from 19-Feb-2001.

Consumer Alert from US Federal Trade Commission (FTC)
US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has issued an alert in November 2000 concerning premature pre-registration of domain names under some new potential top-level names like .info, .biz, .name, etc. HKNIC would also like to stress that we have no plans to register domain names like xxx.info.hk and xxx.biz.hk at this moment.

Results of consultation on Internet domain name administration in HK released
The recommendation made in the document will be implemented after the establishment of the new HKNIC, which will need at least a couple of months. When established, details will be announced in the press. You are also welcomed to check this page every month or so for latest development. Repeat: all current registration policies are remaining unchanged until the new HKNIC is established.

How to speed up .com.hk application?
You are advised to fill in the Business Registration Certificate number as mentioned.

Zone Transfers were discontinued
Starting in early April, the authority name servers ns[123].cuhk.edu.hk no longer accpet zone transfer requests of the com/edu/gov/net/org.hk zones.  Zone transfers impose heavy load to the nameservers.  Getting a whole zone of data would also allow the user to search for the eaddr of zone contacts and possibly sending spam mail.
