In 1994, Rob Hurle was one of the first to think of and be authorized to register the .vn domain for Vietnam, replacing the .au (Australia) domain. VNPT managed the DNS server and the .vn domain.
In 2000, VNPT transferred the DNS server and the .vn domain to the Vietnam Internet Network Information Center (VNNIC) when this center was established by the Vietnamese government.
In 2003, Dot VN, Inc. signed an agreement with VNNIC allowing the company to market the .vn domain overseas.
