The AM (Armenia) Domain
Status of this Memo
This memo provides information for the Internet community. This memo
does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Distribution of
this memo is unlimited.
The AM Domain
The AM Domain is an official Internet top-level domain of Armenia.
AM is the ISO-3166 2-letter country code for the Republic of Armenia
and thus the AM Domain is established as a top-level domain and
registered with the InterNIC the same way other country domains are.
Naming Structure
The AM Domain hierarchy is flat. This means that any organization may
be registered directly under the AM TLD. Example: arminco.am.
However, subdomains are allowed, such as ORG and MIL, as well as CO
and AC.
Please note that MIL.AM and GOV.AM domains are reserved by the
Ministry of Defense and The Government of Armenia, respectively.
Other domains may be reserved for appropriate organizations by
contacting AM Network Information Center at .
Registration
There are two types of registrations (1) Delegation, where a branch
of the AM Domain is delegated to an organization running name servers
to support that branch; or (2) Direct Registration, in which the
information is put directly into the main database.
In Direct Registration there are two cases: (a) an IP-host (with an
IP address), and (b) non-IP host (for example, a UUCP host). Any
particular registration will involve any one of these three
situations.
