A root server for the “.UZ” domain zone has started operating in Kazakhstan



As part of the memorandum of cooperation between the administrators of the .UZ (UZINFOCOM) and .KZ (KazNIC)
domain zones, a new root DNS server for the “.UZ” domain has begun operation, featuring both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and located in Kazakhstan.

The server’s IP addresses are as follows:
IPv4: 80.241.0.234
IPv6: 2a01:7640:0:d::2

DNS (Domain Name System) is a system that translates domain names into IP addresses understandable by devices and servers on the Internet. Expanding the geographic distribution of DNS servers enhances the stability and speed of the domain zone, ensuring faster access to websites under the .UZ domain.

The new server is hosted in Kazakhstan and connected to KazNIC’s high-speed network infrastructure. As a result, users not only in Kazakhstan but also across neighboring Central Asian countries will benefit from lower latency when accessing .UZ domain resources.

The server has passed all required technical checks and has been approved by ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers), the international organization responsible for coordinating domain names and IP addresses.

The deployment of the root DNS server in Kazakhstan marks another step in strengthening the infrastructure of the national .UZ domain and promoting regional cooperation in the Internet sphere.

Uznet has become even closer.
