ASIA Domain Names for the Big Players Not for You and Me
(2 votes, average: 5 out of 5) Loading ...I’ve been buying domain names for 6 years. Recently, like many other investors, I jumped over to the dot ASIA domains band wagon. I purchased some 20 ASIA domains about 3 months ago and waited for the dot Asia registry to contact me. I thought they would’ve liked to verify my overseas (Asian) contact information that I went into great lengths to provide, since every dot Asia domain needs a contact person in an Asian country and I reside in the US.
Weeks and months went by, I waited for a phone call, I waited for an email but nothing happened. I registered more domains with a different email account, but got the same silence. I only heard from the domain registrar confirming my order but not from the Asia registry. I finally found a phone number and contacted a dot Asia representative in Hong Kong. They were very nice and explained how they wont need to verify my contact information.
I also was told if any other person had applied to the same domain I pre-registered for , that domain would go into auction and I’d get a chance to bid.
Yesterday, I finally got a word back on some the domains I hoped to own. The emails came from my registrar not the Asia registry which is not surprising. Naturally, I was excited. Holey smokes, I could be the proud owner of a cool domain such as FREE.asia. However, the first 5 emails politely stated that my registration was denied by the Asia registry. No reasons were given to explain why my applications were declined, no offers to bid on the domains, nothing what so ever.. to say the least, I was disappointed.
