The .asia top-level domain (TLD) is an ICANN-sponsored domain extension that represents the Asia-Pacific region. A .asia domain gives you exposure to the region as a whole, as opposed to individual countries, such as a .jp or .cn extension. This is particularly useful for companies that conduct business in different Asian countries, because securing the .asia domain gives you regional recognition, makes it easier to manage your Web presence, and increases your exposure to the growing number of Internet users in the Asia-Pacific region.

If you or one of your contacts lives in the Asia-Pacific region, you can register a .asia domain name. For more information about the countries that make up the Asia-Pacific region, see Which countries are in the Asia-Pacific region?.

To register a .asia domain, pay the registration fee, based on the number of years for which you want to register your domain. The minimum registration is one year, and the maximum registration is 10 years.

There are no restrictions for the content you can place on your .asia Web pages.
