It's
the most widely anticipated new top-level domain (TLD), and it's
expected to go fast. Don't settle for your second, third or even
fourth choice: preregister now for your best shot at getting your
first choice .asia domain name! This new TLD becomes available
for live registration in October 2007.
Why
.asia?
The Asia/Pacific economy, which spans from Turkey to Japan,
is home to more than 60% of the world's population. When you
register a .asia domain name, you:
| |
- Save money with a regional domain name rather than registering
one for each individual country
|
| |
- Open yourself to hundreds of millions of Internet users
|
| |
- Signal your presence in one of the fastest growing markets
in the world
|
| |
- Choose from a wealth of available names

Why Register with Hostway?
With almost 10 years of experience registering domain names
behind us, we've built a solid track record of successfully registering
domain names and handling the launch of new TLDs, such as .eu
and .mobi. Unlike other registrars, Hostway uses a no-risk model
for preregistrations, where customers only pay the registration
fee for successfully registered domain names.
For domain names with multiple applications, an auction process
will be used rather than the first-come, first-served process
of the past. This eliminates the need to preregister with multiple
registrars as the name will be awarded to the highest bidder.
How Much Does
.Asia Cost?
During the sunrise periods, DotAsia charges an application
fee to cover the verification expenses.
If the registration is successful, customers are charged an
annual registration fee:
