TLD.Asia is a DotAsia initiative supporting the creation and development of TLDs (Top-Level Domains) in Asia. As the first and only gTLD from and for Asia, DotAsia will invest our financial and intellectual resources along with our industry, technology and community knowledge to support new gTLD projects from Asia as well as those with a vision for the Asian Internet community and marketplace.

The ICANN new gTLD program opens up a new era for Internet development. This breakthrough holds the potential for the creation of economic value, as well as opportunities for social and community development. DotAsia believes that putting the prospects to good use can advance market choice, allow brands to expand their footprint and develop trust with consumers, as well as for communities, cities and initiatives to establish their identity online and for raising awareness and attention for social cause and movements.

While economic viability and sustainable return on investments are important, as a not-for-profit organization with a core mandate to promote Internet development and adoption in Asia, DotAsia will also prioritize our support for community oriented TLD projects, promote constructive competition, and projects that align with our vision to contribute to the development of Asia.
