.dz is the country-specific top-level domain (ccTLD) for Algeria . It was introduced on January 3, 1994 and is administered by the CERIST (Center de Recherche sur l'Information Scientifique et Technique).

properties

The name DZ is derived from Dzayer , the local name for Algeria. In addition to the top-level domain, there are numerous addresses on the second level ( second-level domains ): com.dz for commercial companies, edu.dz for educational institutions, gov.dz for the state government or, for example, org.dz for non-profit organizations. In order to register a .dz domain, proof of residence or branch in the country must be provided.

In the course of the introduction of new generic top-level domains , an application for .kab became known. This is a top-level domain of Kabylia , a region of the country. However, the introduction is considered unlikely, as ICANN could cite a mix-up with .kaz , the Cyrillic variant of the Kazakh domain .kz .
