.com.kz Domain: Kazakhstan's Commercial Address
.com.kz is a third-level domain under .kz, the country extension of Kazakhstan, and the regulation reserves it for commercial organisations. Its registry is KazNIC, listed in IANA records as the technical operator for .kz, with the Association of IT Companies of Kazakhstan as sponsoring organisation. What the extension buys you is clear: on the Kazakh market, one address signals both local belonging and commercial standing.
You do not need a company in Kazakhstan to register; the regulation defines the registrant as a natural person or legal entity. The country-specific server location requirement applies to .com.kz exactly as it does elsewhere: the server hardware behind your internet resource must sit inside Kazakhstan. If you want a shorter, more general address, look at .kz, or compare every option on the Kazakhstan domains page. Check your preferred name with domain search.

.com.kz Domain Lifecycle
What happens day by day after it expires
Day 0 is the domain's expiry dateIn short: for .com.kz the post-expiry timeline is set by the registry, so it differs from one extension to the next. The diagram below shows the windows that actually apply to .com.kz, day by day. One thing never changes, whichever extension you hold: renewing before the expiry date is always the cheapest and safest route.
Domain Is Available (Available)
A .com.kz address at this stage has not been taken yet, and it goes to whoever registers first. Check the name you have in mind — if it is free, it can be yours within minutes.
Domain Is Active (Active Period)
Once registration is complete, the domain is registered to you for the term you selected. You can renew at any point before it expires to keep it active, or switch on auto-renewal so you never have to watch the date.
Redemption Period (Redemption Period)
The domain is not released the moment it expires — during this window it is still yours and can be recovered. Some extensions charge an extra restore fee at this stage, so renewing before expiry is always the cheaper route.
Domain Is Available Again
Once deletion completes, the domain leaves the system and anyone can register it — popular names are often taken the same minute by someone watching. Keep auto-renewal on so a name you care about never gets this far.

Frequently Asked Questions About .com.kz Domains
The questions people actually ask before registering — answered plainly.
-
Kazakhstan's domain regulation reserves .com.kz for commercial, profit-making organisations; the extension suits companies that want their commercial identity read straight from the address. There is no separate requirement for the registrant to be established in Kazakhstan — the regulation defines the registrant as a natural person or a legal entity. A company based abroad can therefore hold a .com.kz name.
-
.kz is a direct second-level, short, general-purpose address open to individuals as well. .com.kz is a third-level name the regulation reserves for commercial organisations. The technical handling and the server location requirement are identical, so choosing between them is a positioning decision rather than a convenience: pick .com.kz if you want the commercial character of the address to register immediately.
-
Yes, in full. The server hardware running the internet resource behind the name must sit within Kazakhstan. If the condition is unmet, a registration can be refused; for a registered address, use can be suspended, meaning the site effectively stops loading. The rule is narrow in scope: it concerns server hardware, not the country your name servers are in. Thanks to that distinction, moving only the hosting is usually enough.
-
No. In our system .com.kz is not among the extensions requiring documents, so no notarised paperwork or commercial register entry is requested at registration. That said, the extension is reserved for commercial activity, so your registration is expected to fit that framing. What genuinely counts in the application is that registrant and contact details are accurate and complete; incomplete information is a ground for suspension in its own right.
-
.com.kz is transferable. You obtain the transfer authorisation from your current provider and confirm the domain is not locked against transfer; the address keeps working throughout and your remaining registration period is preserved. Changing provider does not remove the server location requirement — hosting must stay compliant. You can start the process on the domain transfer page.
-
Yes, you can update your name servers from the management panel at any time. Because the server location rule concerns the hardware hosting the resource rather than the name servers, such a change creates no additional restriction. Full propagation across the global DNS usually takes a few hours, and during that window some visitors may still see the previous records; it resolves on its own once propagation completes.
