Most entities will generally register either a .co.zm or .org.zm domain, if they choose to use the ccTLD rather than a generic top-level domain. The one documented exception to the requirement to register at the third level is that "registered ISPs" may register at the second level—e.g., zamtel.zm. However, there are several undocumented variances to this rule—e.g., the Bank of Zambia's domain is boz.zm, and the regulator (ZICTA) operates under zicta.zm. Registrars ISPs are required to be registered with ZICTA, and only registered ISPs may be accredited as registrars. ZICTA lists ISPs on their website.Public Notice: List of Licensed Electronic Communication Operators https://www.zicta.zm/storage/sites/attachments/DsMJc1a899AWajdb7w58Ggmz5BZajiIGWEs7nHk7.docx Zambia Information & Communications Technology Authority ZICTA 27 December 2020 ISP list 28 September 2022 https://web.archive.org/web/20220928095510/https://www.zicta.zm/storage/sites/attachments/DsMJc1a899AWajdb7w58Ggmz5BZajiIGWEs7nHk7.docx dead References External links IANA .zm whois information Category:Country code top-level domains Category:Communications in Zambia Category:Internet properties established in 1994 Category:Internet in Zambia sv:Toppdomän#Z
