Asia already makes up 36.5% of the world’s online population, surpassing the US and EU, and is set to increase by 2010. With 3 Asian countries ranking amongst the top 5 Countries with regards to Internet Usage, Asia is surely heading towards being the most sought after ‘new’ TLD.

The Landrush stage is an opportunity for the general public to register a .ASIA domain. If more than one applicant registers the same domain during this stage, it will be auctioned to the highest bidder at the end of the period. During this time, you will not be able to see the .ASIA Domain Names that have been applied for, in your respective Control Panels. Only once a Domain is successfully registered that you will be able to view/manage it in the Control Panel.

What are the requirements to register a .ASIA domain? Anyone can register a .ASIA domain as long as there is at least one contact who is a legal entity, either natural or juristic, in one of the Asia-Pacific countries listed above. eHostAsia can be your technical contact in your registration, and you can change it at anytime as long as your new contact resides within the Asia-Pacific region.

As mandated by the DotAsia Registry, the minimum registration period is 2 years.

The world’s biggest software maker, Microsoft Corp, announced today its proposal to buy Yahoo Inc for $44.6 in cash and stocks. The surprise offer was timely as Yahoo’s stock slipped to a four-year low earlier this week. The offer represents a 62 percent premium above the closing price of Yahoo! common stock on Jan. 31, 2008. The convergence would offer a credible alternative for consumers, advertisers, and publishers as the market is currently dominated by Google.

At around 11:47am CST (Jan 31), it was reported that some PHP sites were loading slowly. Our entire System Administration team corrected the issue by adding additional capacity to our PHP4 cluster and addressed several networking connectivity issues that were causing a few sites to continue to load slowly. As of 1:52pm CST, PHP4 sites are now loading normally.  We apologize for any inconvenience today’s slowness may have caused you.
