Research brief
The .vn facts that change the decision
This page separates registry policy, public market evidence and registrar pricing. A sample is labeled as a sample; a rule is labeled as a rule; and a checkout quote is never presented as a registry statistic.

IANA .vn delegation recordRegistry scale (2024)
About 630,000 .vn domains
Vietnam's Ministry of Information and Communications reported the 2024 national-domain total and its regional/global ranking. The figure is presented as a published annual total, not a fresh availability measure.
Vietnam MIC Internet report 2024Registry Lock context (May 2025)
Over 650,000 active .vn domains
VNNIC said about 4,000 active names used Registry Lock. That security-service statistic is distinct from the 2024 annual total and is not used to calculate growth.

How to find a strong available .vn
Treat availability as the start of the decision, not the finish. A usable name also needs to be easy to communicate, defensible and fairly priced.
- 01
Start with a name that earns .vn
Test Vietnamese pronunciation and diacritics, and check the matching .com or .asia before publishing.
- 02
Search the exact label first
Keep the search scoped to this extension, then compare the exact label with closely related endings before accepting a spelling compromise.
- 03
Check rights and pronunciation
An available result is not trademark clearance. Say the name aloud, check local implications and review the registrar’s final eligibility rules.
Pricing explained
What does a .vn domain cost?
The useful number is the full cost of ownership, not the largest promotional figure on a registrar banner.
Price coverage is not available for .vn yet. This page does not invent a number. A verified row will appear after the next registrar collection or an admin-approved override; the registrar checkout remains the final source for the exact name, premium status, tax and renewal terms.
