.CO.JP Domain Registration
What is a .CO.JP Domain?
.CO.JP is the Domain Brand of Japan and most trusted domain extension in Japan.
- Used by most Japanese companies such as Sony (sony.co.jp), Toyota (toyota.co.jp), Mazda (mazda.co.jp) etc.
- Used by Japanese banks such as Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (smbc.co.jp), Mizuho Bank (mizuhobank.co.jp) etc.
- Also used by foreign companies which have registered Japanese companies such as Google (google.co.jp), Amazon (amazon.co.jp), Yahoo (yahoo.co.jp), McDonalds (mcdonalds.co.jp) etc.
.CO.JP domains, however, come with a Japanese company only restriction.
To register a .CO.JP domain, a company registered with the Japanese government is required.
(We can still help if you do not qualify)
