We’re pleased to announce the availability of .ASIA domains, which went live here at Tucows earlier today. With more than one-third of Internet users located in Asia, the .ASIA Generic Top Level Domain (gTLD) can help qualified individuals and businesses easily identify themselves in a market that’s growing very quickly.

I use the term “qualified” because the .ASIA gTLD does have a registrant residency requirement: at least one of the registrant contacts must be located in the Asia-Pacific region.

Given the .ASIA universe stretches from Australia to Turkey, (think of it as similar to .EU): a very popular domain extension that helps European individuals and companies identify themselves to a specific regional community. .ASIA has the potential to have the same impact.

Like the other gTLDs offered through Tucows, .ASIA domain names are available through our “cost plus” pricing structure. The registry fee is $10/year, plus the 20 cent ICANN fee, plus the Tucows Management Fee. Names are available in terms of between one and 10 years.

If you haven’t already signed up to sell .ASIA, it’s pretty simple. Download a copy of the current contract, and sign and send in pages 1 and 17.
