Why Japan’s #1 Domain Registrar is Partnering with it.com – and What it Means for You

Posted on September 17, 2024 Written by Bill Hartzer

Big news for businesses and tech startups: it.com Domains has just joined forces with Japan’s top domain registrar, GMO Internet Group, and this partnership is shaking things up in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) market.

If you’re tired of searching for the perfect domain name only to find it taken or overpriced, this might just be the solution you’ve been waiting for.

A Game-Changing Collaboration

As of now, it.com Domains’ unique extension is available via GMO’s “Onamae.com,” Japan’s largest and most respected domain registrar. This is a major move in expanding domain options in the APAC region, which boasts the highest number of internet users in the world. GMO has been a trusted player in the industry for years, with over 33 million domain registrations under their belt. Now, with it.com onboard, more businesses have a shot at locking in short, memorable domain names that might have otherwise been out of reach.

Why This Matters

Tess Diaz, Director of Channel at it.com Domains, knows how big this is. She emphasized that the collaboration isn’t just about business, it’s about trust. She sees GMO as the perfect partner to help expand it.com’s footprint in APAC: “We’re excited to have GMO, not just as a leading domain registrar, but as a trusted partner in bringing new opportunities to businesses across the region.”

Yutaka Kirihara, General Manager at GMO, shared the same enthusiasm. He mentioned that offering the .it.com extension opens the door for businesses, particularly in the IT sector, to grab domain names that are both impactful and globally recognized.

Why .it.com?

In a world where everyone’s clamoring for the same few domain names, .it.com gives businesses a fresh chance to grab something memorable without compromising. Plus, since it operates under the .com root, these domains come with built-in credibility. It’s especially useful for companies aiming for international recognition while still needing that local touch. The .it.com extension offers businesses a straightforward way to enhance their digital presence without battling over crowded generic domains.

Whether you’re a tech startup trying to carve out a space in the digital world or an established brand looking to expand your reach, this new offering could be the key to standing out.

What Comes Next?

This partnership between it.com Domains and GMO Internet Group is just the beginning. Both companies plan to work closely to boost awareness and capture more of the market. For now, though, the message is clear: if you want to snag a unique, memorable domain name, now’s the time to act.
