ASIA Domain Names Coming-Soon + More Domain Sales:
.ASIA is almost here! The newest addition to the geo-region specific top level domain (TLD) market follows on the success of the .EU. DotAsia, the sponsoring organization is planning a sunrise period later this year. The term ‘Asia’ which is widely used by businesses and media already is expected to be in high demand by the region’s 400 Million active internet users as a TLD. 400 Million is no small number but this actually only represents 10% of the population in the region. The economy in Asia is the fastest growing in the world. As the economy grows, .ASIA is well positioned to benefit and indeed assist in that growth.
Although the term ′Asia′ is widely recognized throughout the world, Edmon Chung, CEO for the DotAsia Organisation believes that, "the term ‘Asia′ is versatile in its usage, and can be used equally well to signify both where an entity comes from, as well as to identify its intended audience." It is expected that many businesses will have a high degree of interest in .ASIA domains, including: Asian businesses with a regional focus, international companies with Asian-specific sectors; travel firms; and companies that operate expositions in Asia as well as regional info hubs. Anyone interested in getting their own .ASIA domain should visit http://registry.asia for more info. The sunrise period for .ASIA will begin in October 2007.

There are many similarities between investing in domain names and investing in the stock market. With stocks, you earn dividends and with domain names, you can earn parking revenue from natural traffic. With a multitude of investment opportunities to choose from, speculating on domain names is a fairly recent occurrence. The concepts and theories behind domain investing, though, are the same as those of more traditional ventures.
It is important for any serious domain investor to understand the significant relationship between investing in stocks and investing in domains. Stocks provide dividends and the potential for capital growth. Similarly, domains provide revenue and growth potential. Domainers can earn revenue from domains through parking (similar to a stock′s dividends) and sell them for profit (similar to the way capital growth is expressed in the stock market). While the longevity and popularity of the stock market has provided the opportunity for a plethora of research and analysis, the relatively new domain investment market may need many years until it catches up in terms of research.
