'''.jp''' is the
Internet country code top-level domain (
ccTLD) for
Japan. It is administered by the
Japan Registry Service.
At the establishment of the .jp domain the domain was administered by the
Japan Network Information Center JPNIC, as part of their role as an overseeing technical body for the Internet in Japan. However, due to the growing importance and size of the .jp registry, it was decided at the 11th General Meeting of JPNIC in December 2000 to create a new corporation that would manage the .jp domain. Thus, the Japan Registry Service was created, and on
June 302003, officially assumed the duties of the .jp
registry.
Registrations are processed via
accredited registrars and
domain names with Japanese characters (
kanji,
hiragana or
katakana) may be registered at the second level.
