Due to continuous effort to strengthen DNS infrastructure, .lt registry is happy to announce new DNS anycast cloud b.tld.lt. There are currently three .lt DNS server clouds (b.tld.lt, c.tld.lt, d.tld.lt). Using anycast technology multiple servers share single IP address, client requests are resolved by the closest one.
b.tld.lt is using both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols.

The procedural regulation of top-level .lt domain will be updated as of Nov. 1st of 2009.

The main change is .lt domains pricing policy: since 2009-11-01 discounts policy (based on registrar domain count and growth) will no longer be used, instead same-price policy will be adopted.

KTU ITPI, the .lt domain registry, is proud to announce the milestone of 100 000 registered .lt domains. This number of .lt domains was reached just over two years after new .lt registry system deployment. Variuos .lt top level domain statistics can be found in our report.

.LT domain name is accessible using IPv6 protocol since 9 March, 2008. This is one of the .lt domain registry planned DNS service infrastructure upgrades, to facilitate internet users and internet service providers who are using or want to start using IP version 6 protocol.

After successful launch of new service, .LT domain DNS servers with IPv6 support have quite small, but steady DNS query traffic. This proves that demand for launched new service is real.

New .lt registry system is online since 2007-03-13 13h. Since then, .lt domain count has grown from 45000 to 72000 (60% growth). Currently, .lt domain count grows by more than 500 every week.

We are glad, that more registrars are choosing automated EPP interface (more than 3 million EPP operations per year) and use fast DAS service to check domain availability.

.lt zone is now serviced by new c.tld.lt anycast DNS servers cloud (seven instances in variuos foreign countries).

Number of registered .lt domains has passed 60000 mark on 2007-10-18. .lt registry has grown by 10000 .lt domains since 2007-05-14.

From 2007-06-12 .lt zone will be refreshed every hour.

After new registry system start .lt domain count grows by more than 450 per week.

Number of registered .lt domains has passed 50000 mark on 2007-05-11.

Several internet sources (without consulting with KTU ITPI) announced that all two symbols .lt domain names where registered during several minutes after .lt registry launch. However, even now (2007-03-20) more than 400 two symbols domains are available.

New .lt registry system launched. We invite registrars and registrants to read new procedural regulation.

.lt registry system runs:

.lt registry tryout system is now operational.

We invite registrars to register and test upcoming system.
