.ASIA Domain Syntax Rules Asia FAQ - What are the rules that a .ASIA domain name must follow in regards to characters allowed, total length, etc.?
- .ASIA domains can contain the English-language letters A through Z, the digits 0 through 9 and hyphens (LDH -- Letters, Digits, Hyphens).
* a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 -
* Hyphens however cannot be used for the first or last character of the second level domain name.
* Spaces and special characters (such as !, $, &, , and so on) are not currently acceptable.
* The minimum length allowed for a second level .ASIA domain is effectively 3 characters after considering that all 2-Character and 1-Character domains are designated as reserved names based on the ICANN Reserved Names in the .ASIA Reserved Names Policy.
* The maximum number of LDH characters accepted for a second level domain is 63 (i.e. excluding the "http://www" and ".asia" portions). Such a limitation is defined by the technical requirements defined by the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) for the Internet DNS.
* The .ASIA Registry is not currently offering IDN (Internationalized Domain Name) registration capabilities. As a precautionary measure, and in compliance with the ICANN Registry Operator agreement, registration for domains containing the character sequence -- at the third and fourth character positions of an LDH (letters digits hyphens) domain will not be allowed unless corresponding policies have been established and such provision is explicitly released.
