Conscious of the rapid growth of the internet sector in the Asia/Pacific region, Hostway Corporation, the global leading web hosting provider, is offering pre-registration of .asia Domain Names. The TLD will be available for registration to governments and trademark-holders in October, but this system gives others the opportunity to put in their request.

Hostway will automatically submit the pre-registration requests as soon as the registration period opens. If the domains are successfully acquired, the customer will be billed. Auctions will be held for domains which have been requested by more than one applicant.
