Company domains are often registered in a hurry: a developer or marketer picks the name, enters their own details and pays. Years later that person leaves, and nobody is sure who actually owns the domain. Registering a .uz domain to the legal entity from day one avoids this and turns the domain into a genuine company asset.
Why the organisation should be the owner
The registrant listed for a domain holds the key rights over it: changing name servers, transferring ownership or letting it lapse. If a company domain is registered with an employee's personal details, it formally belongs to that person, and getting it back may require their consent or extra paperwork. A domain held by the organisation stays with the company whatever happens to staff; when a director or IT specialist changes, you only update the contact details.
Details to prepare
When creating a contact for a legal entity you enter the organisation's official details. They must match the state registration certificate or extract exactly, since verification may be based on those documents.
- Full official name and legal form, for example LLC.
- Taxpayer identification number (STIR).
- Legal address: region, city or district, street and building.
- Full name of the director or responsible person.
- A phone number and email address that belong to the organisation.
A copy of the registration document may also be requested. Requirements change over time, so confirm the current list in your account or with support when you register.
Use shared contacts, not personal ones
Renewal reminders and confirmation codes go to the contact email. If that is an employee's personal inbox, the messages stop reaching anyone once they leave and the domain can quietly expire. A shared mailbox such as admin or info, forwarded to several responsible people, is far safer. The same applies to the phone number: use a line officially assigned to the organisation, such as the reception or office number, rather than someone's personal mobile.
Example: a private clinic in Samarkand
A private clinic in Samarkand wanted a site for online appointments. The outside developer offered to register the domain in his own name because it seemed quicker. Management declined and registered it to their LLC with its tax number and legal address, using the clinic's shared email and reception phone as contacts. A year later they switched developers without any trouble: the newcomer simply received hosting and DNS access while ownership stayed put.
Step by step
- Create a new contact in your account and set its type to legal entity.
- Enter the details exactly as written in the documents.
- Check the name and, if free, register it with that contact.
- Pay using one of the methods shown in the account.
- After activation, configure name servers and DNS records.
In the sayt.uz account contacts are stored separately, so a correctly filled company contact can be reused for future domains.
Technical setup after activation
A typical setup adds an A record for the main address, a CNAME for www and an MX record for mail. Replace the IP and mail server with the values your hosting provides:
example.uz. 3600 IN A 203.0.113.10
www.example.uz. 3600 IN CNAME example.uz.
example.uz. 3600 IN MX 10 mail.example.uz.
example.uz. 3600 IN TXT "v=spf1 mx -all"dig A example.uz +short
dig MX example.uz +shortWhen company details change
Phone or email changes are usually updated quickly in the account. A change of company name or tax number may be treated as a change of owner and require supporting documents, and transferring a domain to another legal entity, for example when a business is sold, is a separate procedure that normally needs both parties' consent. Keep domain documents and payment receipts in the company archive.
