The first Moldovan Internet server, mdearn.md, became operational on January 1, 1994. In May 1995, .md was fully delegated to RCI (the Moldovan Republican Centre for Informatics, established on 1 September 1993https://molddata.md/?pag=page&id=105 Date memorabile 2020-07-25). In 1998, RCI entered into a contractual agreement with Domain Name Trust, a US-based company, granting it the rights to operate and oversee the TLD. Domain Name Trust then proceeded to sell its rights to operate .md to DotMD, a US-based LLC, which went bankrupt in October 2002. During the resulting bankruptcy court proceedings, authority over .md was ordered to be returned to the state of Moldova in February 2003.https://www.iana.org/reports/2003/md-report-22oct03.html IANA Report on Redelegation of the .MD Top-Level Domain 2003-10-22 2020-07-25https://amednews.com/article/20050117/business/301179991/7/ New company makes push for ".md" domain 2005-01-17 2020-07-25 RCI was renamed into MoldData on 12 July 2001, formalizing its transformation and succession on 19 September.https://www.stroyka.md/ru/kompanii/molddata-is MOLDDATA, ÎS 2020-07-25 On 30 August 2019, by order of the Moldovan government, MoldData was absorbed into STISC (Service for Information Technology and Cyber Security), which took over the responsibility of the national registrar for the .md TLD.https://molddata.md/?pag=news&opa=view&id=384&tip=noutati Î.S.
