.CO.JP Domain Registration
What is a .CO.JP Domain?
.CO.JP is the domain extension for Japan and the most trusted in the country.
An important point to remember is .CO.JP domains are restricted to Japanese companies only. If you would like to register your own .CO.JP domain, your company needs to be registered officially with the country's government. (We can provide you with help if you are unable to qualify for registration.)
I need to get a .CO.JP Domain, what options are open to me?
At JP-Domains we offer three different options for clients looking to register .CO.JP domains:
Option One: If you already own a company based in Japan. (Click Here...)
Option Two: If you plan to register your company officially in Japan within the next 6 months. (Click Here...)
Option Three: If you do not have a company in Japan but are looking to reserve an appropriate .CO.JP domain for use in the future or are looking for more than one.(Click Here...)
Full Details of Each Option
Option One If you already own a company based in Japan (Restriction: one .co.jp domain per company) If you already own a company based in Japan and are interested in registering an appropriate .CO.JP domain (AND if you don't already have one) you will be able to register your .CO.JP domain. For this option, the only document we need is your company's toukibotouhon. You can send the document by email or fax in the form of an image or PDF file to us and we will complete the domain registration on your behalf. View Pricing (Click Here) |
Option Two If you plan to register your company officially in Japan within the next 6 months (Restriction: one .co.jp domain per company) If you do not yet have a company in Japan but are in the process of registering one and will be ready within 6 months, you may use our 6 month protection service. This allows you to fully use the domain including setting up the nameservers or DNS and pointing the domain to your server. If your company is registered prior to the 6 month deadline, you can send the toukibotouhon document by email or fax in the form of an image or PDF file to us and we will upgrade the domain to an official registration (same as option 1). The expiry date will automatically extend another 6 months (total 1 year). (However, if your company is not registered in Japan prior to the 6 month deadline, the domain will be deleted and cannot be restored for the following 6 months.) View Pricing (Click Here) |
Option Three If you are not ready to register a company in Japan but need to reserve a .CO.JP domain. (Or if you want to protect multiple .CO.JP Domains.) If you are looking to reserve an appropriate .CO.JP domain but either don't actually have a Japanese company or are not registering your company in Japan over the next six months, we can help. We will engage one of our sub-companies that are registered with the Japanese government to reserve the required domain on behalf of your organization. When you eventually set up your company here, we will then transfer that domain to you. We Offer This .CO.JP Protection Service to Companies in Any Country! With this option, your company can use it to reserve a .CO.JP domain or several different trademarks or brands. We are also able to protect as many domains as you require..
