.jp registrations have been rising steady as more and more Japanese come online. Anyone want to speculate on the potential of .jp names?

KRL, would love to hear your insight into this.

I don't see any reason why they wouldn't become more valuable over time, but it doesn't matter unless you actually own a good one.

Buy .com, you can't go wrong. All the others are second rate.

I registered ebony.jp and webcams.jp a few months back. Still some good ones available if you look hard enough. I doubt anyone would want them now but I'm wondering how the market will be down the road.

You have to ask a Japanese person if the words ebony or webcams mean anything to them.

$199 for 2 years is a bit steap

Not sure if they use the word ebony but the ebony niche sells well to Japanese surfers from what I've read. As for webcams, of course they know what that is and there is a current site on webcam.jp that sells webcams.

Is that the cheapest domain registrar for .jp?

sure, .jp domains will increase in value eventually. I think they're currently overpriced though.
