Cheapest renewal over time
How much does a .asia domain cost over 3 or 5 years?
Over 3 years the lowest total is $25.98 at Dynadot ($2.00 | $11.99 | $11.99). Over 5 years it is $49.96, also at Dynadot ($2.00 | $11.99 | $11.99 | $11.99 | $11.99).
Is the cheapest first year also the cheapest over time?
The lowest first year is Regtons's $1.99, but the lowest 3-year total is Dynadot's $25.98. Choosing Regtons costs $20.01 more over 3 years.
Is the cheapest transfer also the cheapest place to keep it?
NicNames wins both: the lowest transfer fee ($11.00) and the lowest 3-year total ($33.00).
Bottom line
Keeping .asia for 3 years is cheapest at Dynadot ($25.98).
.asia is a regional domain for the Asia-Pacific. It was added to the root zone on 2 May 2007 and opened to the public in 2008. It's one of only a few domains made for a whole region rather than one country, like .eu for Europe.
DotAsia Organisation, a non-profit based in Hong Kong, runs .asia. A group of country-code registries and internet organisations from across the region set it up specifically to run the domain.
.asia is a "sponsored" domain, which means it was created to serve a particular community, and DotAsia uses part of its income to support internet development in the region. Identity Digital provides the technical registry service.
Registration is open globally, but each registration must be linked to the Asia-Pacific region. At least one domain contact must have a legal presence in the region, which DotAsia defines as extending from the Middle East to the Pacific islands.
Companies based outside Asia may qualify if a contact meets this requirement. Having customers in Asia alone does not meet the eligibility criteria.
Regional companies, organisations working across several Asian countries, regional events and conferences, travel and trade businesses and media covering the whole region all use .asia. It's most useful when your audience isn't limited to one country, such as a trade fair that moves between cities.
If your business only serves one market, that country's own code, like .sg for Singapore or .jp for Japan, is usually clearer, and local customers often trust it more.
