I want to create my own Web site. Which is better -- signing up for

TECHNOLOGY CO, LTD can help you.Hostway Announces .Asia Domain Name
Launch - First Registration Period For New .Asia Domain Name To Open
On 9th October
BEIJING ONVIS NETWORK INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY CO, LTD
BEIJING ONVIS NETWORK INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY CO, LTDHostway is today
advising companies that the first registration period for the
new .Asia name officially opens tomorrow. With the potential to be the
largest country-code top level domain name, .Asia is aimed at
residents and organisations within the Asia-Pacific region and
companies wi****ng to trade with this region. The first "sunrise"
period, which begins on the 9th of October, enables registered
trademark holders and government bodies to register their interest in
a certain .Asia domain name.
BEIJING ONVIS NETWORK INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY CO, LTDEarlier this month
the new domain name is .asia became available for trademark
proprietors to register. Like the .eu domain name, the .asia domain
name is designed to serve the Asian Pacific region. There is a limited
sunrise period to register names that correspond with your Asian trade
mark registrations (eg trademark.asia) or trade names before these
domain names become available to the general public.
BEIJING ONVIS NETWORK INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY CO, LTD"As the largest
top-level domain name release for several years, companies are faced
with both an op****tunity and a challenge," said Thomas Herbert,
product manager, Hostway. "With 60% of the world population living in
the Asia-Pacific region, and over 400 million Internet users,
the .Asia domain name is bound to be a success. Furthermore, with
global brands such as Google investing strongly in this area -
exemplified by its acquisition of a stake in Chinese social networking
site Tianya - the Asian market is seeing significant potential for
growth at the moment. When you also consider the huge numbers of
businesses in the rest of the world targeting the Asian market, the
potential for the domain name is vast." BEIJING ONVIS NETWORK
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY CO, LTD
"We've already had over a hundred enquiries about the domain name, and
we're expecting a fair amount of competition for registration
for .Asia names," Herbert continued. "People do need to beware of
unofficial vendors offering pre-registrations as they could miss out,
or be ripped off. This is a great op****tunity for people to establish
their presence as a pan-Asian entity, and companies who don't register
for their domain name are effectively gambling with their brand
identity." BEIJING ONVIS NETWORK INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY CO, LTD
