How come you have to reside in Japan to reg Japanese domains? - GoFuckYourself.com

Anyone know how they're getting away with that baloney?

Racism??

Actually, given my readings of the Internet in Japan, my guess would be that they maintain close control of what happens on the Internet (Well the Japanese bits anyhow) - they've got a lot of rules & regulations that don't exist elsewhere with regards to what you can sell, and it all has to be government approved, so I'd say this would extend to domain names as well...

no racism.....................all in good fun

i eat too much rice myself

AmeliaG · 11-01-2003, 05:48 PM

I don't think you do or at least there must be a way to get around it because my brother owns a lot of them.

You can either be a resident there or, own a corporate entity in the country itself oh and, its not just Japan that has these restrictions other countries do to including Canada.

Probably the same reason that one must have an American presence to register a .US domain

Maybe because it is a Japanese domain?

Everybody can register .jp domains.
http://www.japanregistry.com/

Only .co.jp/.ne.jp/etc. domains are restricted to Japanese companies.

AmeliaG · 11-02-2003, 02:25 PM

Apparently you just have to have a Japanese presence, kinda like you have to get someone to vouch for you to get an apt in Tokyo, but it is not necessarily as complicated as setting up a whole corp or anything. Dot coms are more popular there too though.

Uhhh.

Yeah... it constantly pisses me off that I'd have to go to all the trouble of setting up a US presence just to get some of those cheap .us domains.

Tease · 12-02-2003, 03:59 AM

why do you have to be canadian to register a canadian domain?

unconnected · 12-02-2003, 06:38 AM

Why do I have to have a UK presence to setup a .uk domain?

quantum-x · 12-02-2003, 08:04 AM

It's up toa country to decide.
