Try .hk, .com, .net or any other extension.
Your domain name is the address people type, share and remember, and for a business with customers in Hong Kong, a .hk domain signals a local presence straight away. Use the search box on this page to check whether your preferred name is available as a .hk domain or under other extensions, from familiar generic endings to regional options used across Asia.
Registration requirements for .hk and its second-level variants are set by the registry and can change, so eligibility is confirmed when you order. We do not publish a fixed price list; prices are shown at checkout or provided on request. Once your domain is registered, you point its DNS records at your Hong Kong VPS, dedicated server or RDP, and your website, email and applications answer from the city. This page explains the options, the general rules and the DNS setup step by step.
Check availability for .hk and a wide range of other extensions in one place. If your first choice is taken, try a second-level .hk variant, a generic ending or a regional alternative for your Asian markets. The search box checks several endings in one go.
Domain prices are shown at checkout for the extension you choose, or provided on request for less common endings. You see the exact amount before paying, alongside any hosting in the same order. There are no hidden fees added after the order.
Some .hk options are reserved for particular kinds of applicants. Requirements are set by the registry and can change, so eligibility and any documents needed are confirmed when you register rather than assumed. You can ask sales before ordering if unsure.
Create A, AAAA, CNAME, MX and TXT records that send visitors and mail to your Hong Kong VPS or dedicated server. Changes take effect as resolvers refresh, guided by the TTL values you choose. Low TTL values make planned changes take effect sooner.
Add MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC records so mail for your domain reaches inboxes reliably, whether mailboxes run on your Hong Kong server or with an external email provider. Good records also protect your domain from spoofing.
Bring an existing domain over with its authorisation code, keep contact details current and renew on time from the same client area that manages your Hong Kong hosting services. Everything sits alongside your hosting in one account.
A country-code domain tells visitors where you are before they read a word of your site. For companies selling to Hong Kong customers, a .hk address feels local and trustworthy, and it pairs naturally with hosting in the city: the domain says Hong Kong, and the server really is there.
A .hk domain is also a strong signal to search engines about your intended audience. Combined with content written for Hong Kong readers, local contact details and hosting in the region, it helps your site be shown to the right people. Many businesses run a .hk domain for the local market alongside a .com for international visitors, pointing both at the same Hong Kong server or at different language versions of the site.
The Hong Kong namespace offers more than one way to register. Alongside the direct .hk ending, there are second-level options that combine a category with .hk, such as .com.hk for commercial use, as well as others intended for organisations, networks, education, government or individuals. Each has its own intended audience.
The direct .hk domain is generally the most flexible and recognisable. Second-level options can make sense when your preferred name is already taken under .hk, or when you want the category to be visible in the address. Internationalised domain names written in Chinese characters are another possibility where the registry supports them, which can be attractive for brands that market primarily in Chinese.
Because the details of each category are defined by the registry, the order process tells you which documents or conditions apply to the option you choose.
Every top-level domain has a registry that sets its policies. For .hk, those policies decide who may register each type of domain, what information must be provided, how disputes are handled and how renewals and transfers work. A few general points are worth knowing:
If you are unsure whether you qualify for a particular option, open a sales ticket before ordering and describe your organisation.
A .hk domain is not the only sensible choice for a Hong Kong-hosted site. Consider:
Many regional businesses combine options: a .com as the main brand, a .hk for Hong Kong customers, and country domains for key Southeast Asian markets, all pointing to language or market sections served from the same Hong Kong infrastructure. Use the search box to compare availability across extensions in one step.
Type the name you want, without spaces, into the search box on this page and choose the extension. The result shows whether the name is available and lets you continue to the order. A few tips for picking a name:
We do not maintain a published price list for domains, because registry fees and the range of available extensions change. Instead, the price for the extension you choose is shown at checkout before you pay, and prices for unusual extensions are available on request through a sales ticket. Renewal pricing is shown in the client area ahead of each renewal.
You can pay with the same methods used for hosting: cryptocurrency, Visa, Mastercard, PayPal or bank transfer.
If you are ordering a domain together with a Hong Kong VPS or dedicated server, both appear in the same order and the same client area, so renewals for hosting and domains are easy to track side by side. For a larger portfolio of names, contact sales with the list of extensions you need and you will receive a quote covering all of them.
Once your domain is registered, DNS connects the name to your server. The core records are:
Create an A record for the bare domain and one for www pointing at your VPS IP, then configure the web server on the VPS to answer for both names and redirect one to the other. Issue an SSL certificate once DNS resolves. If you run a control panel on the server, it can also act as your DNS server; in that case update the domain's nameservers to the ones your panel uses.
DNS changes are not instant. Resolvers cache records for the time set in the TTL, so lower the TTL a day before planned changes.
Email deliverability depends heavily on DNS. Point MX records at your mail server or provider, publish an SPF record listing every system allowed to send mail for your domain, add the DKIM public key your mail server or provider generates, and publish a DMARC policy, starting in monitoring mode before moving to a stricter setting. If mail is sent from your Hong Kong server directly, set reverse DNS for its IP to match the mail host name.
Test the result with a mail-checking tool or by sending to a few external mailboxes and reviewing the message headers. Look for SPF, DKIM and DMARC all passing. When you later add a newsletter platform or a helpdesk that sends on your behalf, remember to include it in the SPF record and publish its DKIM key, otherwise those messages may land in spam.
If your domain is registered elsewhere, you can usually transfer it. Unlock the domain at your current registrar, request the authorisation code, make sure the registrant email address is current, and start the transfer in our order process. Transfer rules and timings differ between extensions and are set by each registry. Note your current DNS records first, so you can recreate them and avoid downtime.
During a transfer, the domain normally keeps working with its existing nameservers, so your website and email carry on as before. Avoid changing nameservers and starting a transfer at the same moment; do one, confirm everything works, then do the other. If the domain is close to its expiry date, renew or transfer well ahead of time so there is no gap in registration.
For companies expanding across the region, registering your brand under the main extensions you use is a simple form of protection. It prevents others from registering look-alike addresses and gives you room to launch localised sites later. Redirect unused domains to your main site so they still add value.
Use permanent 301 redirects for defensive domains so search engines consolidate their signals onto your main site rather than treating them as duplicates.
Domains expire if not renewed, and an expired domain takes your website and email offline. Keep your billing details current, watch renewal reminders in the client area, and consider renewing for longer periods for important names. Keep registrant and administrative contact details accurate, protect the client-area login with a strong password, and limit who in your organisation can change DNS or transfer domains.
Yes. Use the domain search box on this page to check availability for .hk and other extensions, then continue to the order. Eligibility for .hk and its second-level variants is set by the registry and confirmed during the order, along with any documents that may be required. Prices are displayed before you pay, alongside any hosting in the order.
We do not publish a fixed domain price list. The price for the extension you choose is shown at checkout before you pay, and prices for less common extensions are available on request through a sales ticket. Renewal prices appear in the client area before each renewal. Domains and hosting can be paid together in one order.
It depends on the option. Requirements are set by the registry, can differ between the direct .hk domain and second-level variants such as .com.hk, and can change over time. The order process confirms current eligibility, and you can ask sales before ordering if you are unsure. Accurate registrant details are required for every registration.
Choose .hk if your main audience is in Hong Kong and you want a clearly local identity. Choose .com if you serve many countries under one brand. Many businesses register both and point them at the same Hong Kong server or at different language sections of one site. Each domain can point to a separate language or market section.
Create an A record for the bare domain and for www pointing at your VPS IPv4 address, plus MX and TXT records for email. Configure your web server to answer for both names, then issue an SSL certificate. If your control panel handles DNS, set the domain's nameservers to those of the panel.
DNS changes spread as resolvers refresh their cache, based on the TTL of each record. With a low TTL, most visitors see changes within minutes to an hour; with a long TTL it can take longer. Lowering TTLs a day before a planned change makes switches faster. Plan important changes ahead and avoid editing records during peak hours.
In most cases, yes. Unlock the domain at your current registrar, obtain the authorisation code, confirm your registrant email is current, and start the transfer in the order process. Each registry sets its own transfer rules and timings, so the exact process depends on the extension. Your site normally keeps working throughout the transfer process.
Yes. You do not have to move your domain to host with us. Simply update its DNS records at your current registrar or DNS provider so they point to your Hong Kong VPS, dedicated server or RDP IP address, and your site and services will answer from Hong Kong. Lower TTLs first so the switch takes effect quickly.
