Gabia announced on the 26th that it has begun accepting advance reservations for Hangul.kr reserved words. This process is being carried out before reserved words, which had been restricted from registration on Hangul.kr, are opened up.
Reserved words are words whose registration is restricted for the stable operation of domains and for the public interest. The words to be opened are Hangul.kr reserved words, or restricted terms.
The Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA) is pushing ahead with opening reserved words in line with the 7th Basic Plan for Internet Address Resources. The goal is to promote the use of national domains and expand user choice.
With this opening, companies and institutions will be able to use Hangul.kr domains with industry representative terms and common nouns. Example words include "semiconductors" and "hospital."
Using common noun domains has the effect of providing web addresses built around familiar words for customers. It also makes it possible to convey a business area or brand image more intuitively.
Because a domain can be registered by only one person for the same address, competition to secure reserved words is expected. Kim Sang-min, team leader of Gabia's Domain Business Team, said reserved words are industry representative terms whose registration had been restricted, and added that when general registration begins, applications for the same domain may be concentrated. Accordingly, advance preparation is important to secure the desired reserved word, and advance reservation is advantageous for those hoping to hold a desired domain.
In response, Gabia will provide an advance reservation service timed to the start of general registration for reserved words on September 30. The service handles the application process for domains customers have applied for in advance. The reservation application period runs from August 25 to September 28. However, whether registration is successful will depend on the outcome of competition at the time of actual acceptance, and if applications are concentrated for the same domain, registration may not be possible.
Domains secured in this way can be connected to an existing website through redirects. They can also be used by turning industry representative keywords into brand channels. Through this, secured domains can be used to expand online touchpoints.
In July, Gabia also launched an external electronic contract function for its all-in-one work platform, Hiworks.
