Can anybody register .asia domains? just like .com, .net, .org etc? Also how much does it cost for one year? Please help.
You should be citizen of an asian country. You can register your asia domain name from v2.eurodns.com for 6 euro with 6ASIA21 coupon code.
It doesnt matter which country you live in now. They have landrush period now which means anyone can register a .asia domain name. 2 year mininum looking at about $39.
You still have to be from asia or have a contact from asia listed. Some sellers like eurodns offer this for free.

toniya, what are you basing that one. Here is the FAQ Quote from DotAsia Organisation http://www.dotasia.org/about/faq.html#q21
We are bsing on the same ground which is applicable to .us and .uk We booked many .asia with our own USA address.
I would be very careful with stating that to possible customers without really checking it up. Godaddy and EuroDNS are saying asia contact is required, so is the registrar. It sure seems like you need an asia contact. btw, not sure but for .us, was it not required to have an usa adress?
If you are not aware there are no actual restriction to register any ccTLD by ICANN. What ICANN says is that ccTLD is for that particular country. Internet is a world of freedom and friendship. You can monitor your server in USA from Singapore or Africa. You can do business to anyone in world from anywhere in the world. ICANN legally cannot restrict anyone. There are always 3 options given by ccTLDs registries. I will rather say 3 situations - 1. you are in USA, 2. You are not in USA but have an office is USA, and 3. You are targeting business in USA - if anyone is met you can register .us Same is applicable to all ccTLDs. If not, I could not have been able to register my domain damnx.us and mydomainz.us which still have my Indian postal address and phone number and same will be on my .asia domains
Now I am confused But never mind, you do as you think is correct, i am going with the information from the DotAsia Organization as they are the organization that handles .asia domains...
I think you may reg .asia domain with EuroDNS.com using a discount from therm on this domain extension: 6ASIA21. Hope it helps.
Don't get confusd. I booked these domains when I was in India. Now am in Rochester NY and have 2 offices one in India another in USA Just registered qwhosting.us to prove my point
Oh, yes. my staff booked these domains in 2006 with my Indian Address and my support is so prompt that thet updated this record even without notifying me in 2007 when I shifted to USA due to some professional issues but this is not a problem. Phone number is still Indian and all past record of the domain shows that this was booked from India Just registered qwhosting.us to prove my point
It is mandatory to have an Indian contact just like its mandatory to have a US contact when registering .us domains (atleast thats what it says when registering one) - but unlike .us domains, they seem to be asking for proof for registering .asia domains.
