Information

The .jp domain is the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Japan. Established in 1986, it is one of the earliest ccTLDs to be implemented on the Internet's Domain Name System. Initially managed by the Japanese Internet Engineering Society (JPNIC), the .jp domain grew significantly in size and importance, leading to the creation of the Japan Registry Service (JRS) in 2003. JRS took over the duties of managing the .jp registry from JPNIC on June 30, 2003.

Restrictions

When it comes to purchasing a domain under the .jp extension, there are certain regulations that need to be followed. In order to register a .jp domain, the registrant must have a valid connection to Japan or a legitimate reason for using a .jp domain. This means that individuals or organizations outside of Japan may only register a .jp domain if they can demonstrate a clear link to the country. For instance, a Japanese national living abroad or a company with a branch in Japan could be eligible to register a .jp domain. Additionally, there are specific rules regarding the registration of personal names as .jp domains. These regulations aim to preserve the integrity and relevance of the .jp domain for the Japanese community.
