Previously, Hong Kong Internet Registration Corporation Limited (HKIRC) planned to launch the Chinese domain name ".香港" this year, and all ".HK" domain name customers can register for free. This news has been highly anticipated by the industry since it was released.
The ".HK" domain name represents the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. As one of the international financial centers, Hong Kong plays an important role in the Asian economy and even the international economy, making it a "must-contend land" for domestic and foreign investors. With the increasingly close cooperation between Hong Kong and Guangdong economies, not only does it drive the prosperity of the surrounding Pearl River Delta economy, but it also promotes economic exchanges and cooperation between Hong Kong and mainland China, achieving excellent results. The economic exchanges between Hong Kong-Macau and the mainland are becoming increasingly close, and the construction of the Pearl River Delta Economic Circle is becoming more perfect, attracting more domestic and foreign investors to enter the Hong Kong market. E-commerce has become the vanguard for businesses and investors.
In today's rapidly developing e-commerce era, the internet has become an effective channel for investors' business development. Domain names, as the signposts of the internet, are indispensable important resources for investors when conducting e-commerce. The .HK domain name is Hong Kong's unified locator, with distinct Hong Kong identification characteristics. Along with the soon-to-be-opened registration for the ".香港" Chinese domain name, it will greatly help mainland enterprises establish a regional image in Hong Kong and promote commercial cooperation and development.
Gold partner of HKIRC, Now.com.cn/domains, also stated that after Hong Kong Internet Registration Corporation (HKIRC) launches the ".香港" domain name, users can register both ".HK" and ".香港" domain names simultaneously. Users registering one traditional Chinese domain name will automatically receive a simplified Chinese domain name as a gift.
This is a win-win situation. Relevant responsible persons from Now.com.cn pointed out that if you register the "Chinese.HK" domain name now, once the ".香港" domain name is launched, existing users can obtain the ".香港" domain name. This domain name not only carries the Hong Kong mark but also has the characteristic of being a Chinese mark, fully conforming to the language habits of the Chinese people. It is beneficial for website searches and deepening the influence of national brands on the international internet, and has recently been favored by users.
The open registration of the ".香港" domain name will attract significant attention. Whether due to its representative Hong Kong identification function or the upcoming wave of another Chinese domain name trend it will bring, it presents a good opportunity for many companies and investors.
