.kh Registration

The .kh registration service is managed by the Ministry of Post and Telecommunications of Cambodia. Introduced in the year 1996, the Internet Country Code Top level domain for Cambodia is .kh. All entities connected with Cambodia can use this registration. Multiple domains are allowed for organizations. Contracts are made for two years.

A domain name can have three to 12 characters. A dash or hyphen cannot be used either at the beginning or the end of the domain name. Spaces are also not allowed. A name may be rejected if it is found to be offensive or inappropriate. In case of conflict, the trade name is given the priority over the company name for .kh registration.
