Useful information about .jp domains

Trends & General Information

Japanese websites often carry the ccTLD .jp - this has existed since 1986 and is operated by "Japan Registry Services Co., Ltd." managed. As a domain extension, it is particularly popular with Japanese companies and private individuals.

As a so-called country-specific domain (ccTLD for "Country Code Top-Level-Domain"), the .jp domain offers both companies and private individuals great advantages: Especially with regard to search engine rankings, the ccTLD .jp is optimal in Japan and Asia, because the Reputation of the domain extension is very high. Accordingly, domains with the TLD .jp are widespread in the Japanese environment, but also worldwide.

The .jp domain can only be bought and registered by Japanese citizens, but easyname also allows Internet users who do not live in Japan to register a .jp domain. We use a so-called trustee service for this: we register your desired domain with a trustee based in Japan - this way you benefit from the advantages of a .jp domain and at the same time enjoy full control over your Internet address. easyname makes it easy for you to buy the .jp domain of your choice!

For the .jp domain, there are certain requirements and conditions that your domain name must meet before you can buy and register it: You can choose between 3 and 63 characters in total, special characters are not allowed. Numbers within the domain are allowed as well as pure number domains.

You can easily buy and register your personal .jp domain online at easyname. If you have any questions about the trustee service, you are of course welcome to contact our customer service: Send us your request using the contact form or send an email directly to support@easyname.com.

Desired domains can be registered on two levels: Both the conventional registration of the first-level .jp domain and the ordering of a second-level domain. The domains .co.jp are available for companies, the .or.jp for legal entities, the .go.jp for the government and the .ed.jp for kindergartens and schools.
