Easyspace, one of the largest web hosting and domain name providers in the UK, has this week added the new, and already popular, .ASIA domain name extension to its portfolio.

Having recently launched the highly anticipated .ME domain extension, this is the second high profile domain launched by Easyspace in the last month.

The .ASIA is a new Top Level Domain (TLD) enabling companies and individuals to show an online presence in the Asia / Pacific region. The domain provides a channel for businesses to expand by reaching out to some of the fastest growing economies in the world, a vast population and hundreds of millions of internet users in the ICANN designated Asia / Pacific countries.

Being regional specific, at least one of the associated contacts of the .ASIA domain name must be a legal entity in Asia. Assuming this requirement can be met, .ASIA domain names can be registered by individuals, organisations or companies.

“This is the second high profile domain extension we’ve launched in the last month, instantly increasing the variety of domain extension alternatives available to customers.” comments Errol Vanderhorst, Sales and Marketing Director for Easyspace.

“We recently launched .ME, which has continued to receive a lot of attention, so we’re hoping we can build on that success in letting people know we are now offering .ASIA.”

.ASIA domains can be registered through Easyspace for 2 years up to 10 years. To find out more, visit www.easyspace.com/domains.php

Nominet, the .uk Domain Registry, has announced the launch of its www.keepyour.co.uk renewal campaign.

The main focus of the campaign is to raise renewal rates by encouraging domain owners to think about the value of their domain name.

.Uk domain names are becoming extremely popular, if you don’t renew your .uk every two-years, it will become available for anyone to register. .Uk Domains are being registered at a rate of one every 20 seconds and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so don’t delay and renew your domain name today!

Managing your renewals with Easyspace is easy, simply login to your account and click on the Renew Services, this will give you a list of all renewals due within 60 days.

Use the AutoRenew function within your control panel to ensure your domains and services are renewed each year.

It’s not bad idea to renew domain names in other suffixes…why wait, renew your domain names today and keep yours before someone else does!
