    Hi all!

    I'm new here, just wondering where's the cheapest place to get a .jp domain.

    I have found jp-domains offering 69$/yr

    Do you guys have any cheaper option or is JP-domains the cheapest atm?

    Hope to hear from you all!

    Thanks!

    In a first place, why do you need a .JP extension? Any special project or niche?

    I believe the OP is residing in Japan and need a japanese domain name as I thought I read that you need to be a japanese to register for it.

    You can use
    jp-domains.com (for those who don't know)

    I believe they are cheap at $69

    But truthfully the domain registries in Japan are like $35 a year

    value-domain.com but it's all in Japanese.

    Oriental domains in offer are Chinese, $2.99 at Dynadot and Domainsite, and $1.99 at iDotz.net, I have never tried this last one though.
