The Chairman of the Indonesian Internet Domain Name Management John Sihar Simanjuntak said that currently PANDI is preparing a new step by presenting a Second Level Domain which can be used to strengthen the brand identity of business actors with a Generic Top-Level Domain.
"The target is brand owners , local name owners. We believe that Indonesia, with all its diversity and beauty, also has regions that are very worthy of our support in the context of digitalization," said John at the .idFest 2025 press conference in Jakarta on Monday.
John said gTLDs are relatively new for PANDI in creating domains, especially for businesses in Indonesia. New gTLDs are an internet domain extension program that introduces new extensions beyond traditional domains like .com, .net, or .org.
This program provides an opportunity to build a more relevant, specific, and easily recognizable digital identity, while strengthening a business's branding.
John said gTLD also targets potential tourist areas such as Bali, Jakarta, and Bandung with GeoTLD to further facilitate tourism promotion and showcase Indonesia's unique characteristics that differentiate it from other countries digitally.
