    About .コム domain

    .コム is a proposed generic top-level domain (gTLD) that is an Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) transliteration of .com into Japanese Katakana script. The registry operator is Verisign, which applied for the string as part of ICANN's New gTLD Program. Its intended purpose as a domain product is to provide an "IDN.IDN" namespace, allowing existing registrants of Katakana second-level domains under .com to register the matching name under this new extension.

    Who can register .コム domain

    Registration for .コム is expected to be open to the general public. The primary initial target audience consists of existing registrants of approximately 50,000 Katakana second-level domain names under .com, who may have an opportunity to secure their matching names. There are no indicated geographic or organizational restrictions for general registration.

    How to register .コム domain

    1. Check the availability of your desired .コム domain name through a participating ICANN-accredited registrar that offers IDN registrations.
    2. Compare registration prices, term lengths, and additional services like WHOIS privacy from different registrars before proceeding to checkout.
    3. Complete the purchase process, providing accurate registrant contact information as required by ICANN policy.
    4. After registration, configure your domain's DNS settings to point to your hosting provider and ensure your contact details are verified.

    Typical uses of .コム domain

    This extension is primarily intended for users and businesses targeting a Japanese-speaking audience who wish to have a fully internationalized domain name. It offers an "IDN.IDN" experience, where both the second-level label and the TLD are in Japanese script, which can enhance local brand recognition and usability. Registrants of existing Katakana .com domains are a key initial user group for this TLD.

    Tips for registering .コム domain

    • As a proposed gTLD, specific registration terms, pricing, and launch phases like Sunrise or Landrush periods will be determined by the registry upon delegation.
    • WHOIS privacy availability will depend on the policies set by Verisign and the services offered by individual registrars.
    • The registry has indicated plans to allow existing IDN .com registrants rights to matching second-level names under this new TLD.

    Can I transfer a .コム domain between registrars?

    Once the TLD is operational, inter-registrar transfers will likely follow standard ICANN policy, requiring the domain to be unlocked and an authorization code to be obtained from the current registrar. Transfers should be initiated through the gaining registrar's process.

    Yes, Verisign has outlined plans to give registrants of Katakana second-level names under .com the rights to register the identical second-level name under the .コム extension. This is intended to provide a seamless "buy once" experience for existing IDN domain holders.

    What is the purpose of an "IDN.IDN" TLD like .コム?

    An "IDN.IDN" TLD allows both parts of a domain name to be in a non-Latin script, improving accessibility and local relevance for non-English audiences. For .コム, this means a fully Japanese domain name, which can be easier for native speakers to type, remember, and recognize compared to a mixed-script name.

    Are there other TLDs similar to .コム?

    Yes, Verisign applied for multiple IDN transliterations of .com and .net in scripts including Arabic, Chinese, Cyrillic, Hebrew, Korean, and Thai. Each serves the same core product function of providing a native-script top-level domain for its respective language community.
