.Asia Domains Now Available and .Asia Sites Now Appearing on Internet
March 27, 2008 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – .Asia domains are now available to the global populace and .Asia sites are now starting to appear on the Internet. According to Hostway Corporation (http://www.hostway.co.uk), companies doing business in Asia should register a .Asia domain to avoid losing credibility.
“Most people (in the UK) these days would go straight to Amazon.co.uk rather than Amazon.com to do their shopping and dealing with the Asian region is no different,” explained Hostway’s Product Manager, Thomas Herbert. “Users expect companies doing business with the area to have local domain names, and businesses which do not wish to buy individual country-specific domain names should look towards the .Asia domain. Even if companies already have country-specific domain names, they should consider registering a .Asia domain to protect their brand. With 60% of the world population living in the Asia-Pacific area, companies risk losing substantial revenues if they do not show that they are serious about dealing with the region.”
Around half a million .Asia domain name registrations have already taken place and some names, claimed by different companies and organizations, have been auctioned raising upwards of $20,000. “With such high demand for these names, companies should sit up and take notice of the potential influence of the new domain,” added Mr. Herbert. “UK businesses dealing with the pan-Asian region would be short-sighted not to realize the benefits of having a .Asia domain name.”
