What is a .asia domain?
.asia is the regional top-level domain for the Asia-Pacific, managed by DotAsia Organisation Ltd. in Hong Kong; IANA’s delegation report is dated 12 April 2007 and public registration opened in 2008. It began as a sponsored, community-run extension for the region, and IANA now files it under generic TLDs. Registry operations are run technically by Identity Digital.

Which Indian businesses register .asia?
.asia suits Indian firms whose customers are spread across several Asian countries, so that no single country code describes the market. The regional label tells a buyer in Singapore, Bangkok or Seoul that the business serves them, not only India.
| Business | Example name | What the regional label does |
|---|---|---|
| Garment or textile exporter | knitwearexports.asia | Speaks to importers across ASEAN and East Asia at once |
| Freight forwarder | seafreight.asia | Matches a network of Asian ports rather than one country |
| Outbound tour operator | bali-thailand-tours.asia | Describes the destinations sold, not the seller’s home |
| IT services firm with regional clients | yourfirm.asia | One regional landing site above several country pages |
| Conference or trade fair | spicesummit.asia | A pan-Asian event address that outlives a single venue |

Can Indians register .asia — what is the Charter Eligibility Requirement?
Yes: the registry’s Charter Eligibility Requirement asks that at least one contact on the domain is located in the Asia-Pacific region, and India is inside that region. An Indian individual, proprietorship, company or society therefore meets the rule with its normal address; no certificate is uploaded.
- Overseas parent companies: list the Indian subsidiary or office as a contact to satisfy the regional rule.
- Accurate details: the qualifying contact must be real; a name can be challenged if it is not.
- Term: registered and renewed yearly or for several years at once.
- Trademarks: disputes follow ICANN’s UDRP, the same process as .com.
.asia vs .in and .com for an exporter
Use .in when most buyers are Indian, .com when they are worldwide, and .asia when the customer base is clearly Asian but crosses borders. Search engines rank all three on content and links; the difference is what the address says to a foreign buyer reading a quotation or a trade-fair badge.
A common setup is .in for the domestic catalogue and a .asia site in English for regional importers, each with its own pages rather than duplicated copy. Compare more endings on the domain registration in India hub.
Running a .asia site after registration
Point the name at your host, add SSL, and set up sales mailboxes on the same domain. An export catalogue runs well on WordPress hosting, enquiries@yourfirm.asia on business email, and an existing .asia can be moved in through domain transfer once it is more than 60 days old.
