The .it.com domain is now available to the Asia Pacific region (APAC) though a partnership with GMO Internet Group, the 1st ICANN-accredited domain registrar in Asia, and it.com Domains, the official operator for the .it.com domain registry.

The new suffix offers the opportunity to create short and easy-to-remember domain names, instead of settling for leftover domains in well-mined generic top-level domains (gTLDs), it.com Domains said, and comes with the prestige of the .com root as well as an affiliation with the technology sector.

Yutaka Kirihara, GM of Domain and Hosting Business Division at GMO Internet Group said: "We are excited about launching it com as we can offer more options to our customers, especially with the IT-related businesses. We hope to work more closely together moving forward to promote brand awareness and to enhance market position as well."

GMO Internet Group has the No. 1 market share in Japan*, and its domain registration service Onamae.com commands the No. 1 market share in Japan's domain industry, with more than 33 million domain registration records**.
