.asia - the Asian market is booming
Asia is in style. The economy is booming and especially the development in the online sector is tremendous! Predictions indicate that the Chinese internet market will catch up with the US American market in 2010. Moreover, in 2010 more than 94% of South Korean and Japanese households and 80% of all households in Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia will probably be connected to the Internet.
Therefore, registrations under .asia are absolutely up-to-date. Besides, there are many .asia domain names available compared to .com or .net.
EPAG is an accredited .asia registrar and has direct access to the .asia registry system.
