Dynadot, did I miss that somehwere before searching? ASIA only for asian residents.
I spent 1 hour looking and qued 3 prime names and then was asked for my asian credentials.
I think if dotASIA has that policy then they should only offer the dotASIAN market to Asian registars. Just my personal thought, no offense against your international cleints. What a waste of time for me looking.
This seems to be just a myth that .asia is only for Asia.
.asia registry is very clever they just want to earn money and they have only verbal slogans otherwise I can prove that many no Asian residents have got .asia during sunrise and landrush.
Anyhow if you still feel you have any problem in getting .asia I can register that for you and then can push in your account.
why coulndt someone with an asian residence offer his address for others to register under? they would use his address and maybe his phone for whois and their own name/email for legal purposes, that guy with an asian residence would forward any problems with the domain that came at his address or phone to the email of the owners, im think this is both legal and shouldnt pose any issues for the address guy since his name wont be anywhere, and from my experience if the domain is ok there should be nothing really to forward while the domain is alive.. i would be ok to offer that but im not in asia, im in europe, still if someone needs it for a dot eu..
