.jp Domain Registrations

The .jp domain extension is the official country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Japan, managed by Japan Registry Services (JPRS). One of the oldest and most respected ccTLDs in the world, .jp has been in operation since 1986 and serves as the primary web identity for Japanese businesses, government agencies, educational institutions, and individuals. Japan is one of the world's leading digital economies, with a highly connected and discerning online population — a .jp domain signals local credibility, trust, and commitment to Japanese users in a way no generic extension can match. From global technology corporations with Japanese operations to domestic SMEs, restaurants, and cultural organisations, the .jp domain is the gold standard for web presence in Japan. JPRS maintains exceptional technical standards, making .jp one of the most stable and secure ccTLDs globally. Registration requires a Japanese address.
