jp-domains for anybody

Cologne, October 10 2004. ICANN Registrar Secura announces
today, that the company is now accepting the registration of
jp-domains from companies andindividuals outside of Japan.

The jp-domains are the domains of Japan. The jp-domains belong
to the popular domains in Asia.

You need a local contact to register these domain. ICANN
accredited registrar Secura provides automatically this local
contact in the registration process, if you have not a
registered business in Japan.

There are domains at .jp and at .co.jp. You have to pay for the
more attractive domains at .jp 300 US-Dollars per year. It is
paradox: But you have to invest 4000 US-Dollar in the first
year, if you want a co.jp-domain, as you need for a co.jp-
domain a Japanese business licence. In this price of 4000
US-Dollars is not only the co.jp-domain, but the business
licence, the contacts with japanese authorities, the translation
and everything else included.

ICANN accredited registrar Secura has access to the registration
system of jp-dopmains. Secura can register a jp-domain at once,
if the domain name is available.
