Web hosting provider Hostway announced today that they will be offering preregistration for the .asia top-level domain. Registration for this new TLD officially opens for governments and trademark holders in October.

According to the release: "While diverse in culture and language, the Asia/Pacific region is home to more than 60% of the world's population, according to United Nations estimates. It is exploding economically, making it the perfect time to launch a TLD to help businesses enter this dynamic marketplace."

“Hostway has extensive experienced in launching new TLD registrations, having gone through the process most recently with .eu and .mobi,” stated John Enright, vice president of marketing and business development for Hostway. “To be in on the ground floor with .asia was an opportunity we couldn’t miss.”

It may be an opportunity you don't want to miss out on either. Interested domainers can now preregister for .asia domains at Hostway.
