Domain Registration
A company domain name is the starting point for being found online — for a website, email and the brand. We help clients look up, register and manage commonly used names, including .com, .net and .com.hk, and can point the domain to a website or email service as needed.
01
Common issues raised by clients
Clients often come to us about domain names when:
- A new company or project needs a suitable domain name, but it is not yet clear whether .com, .net or .com.hk is the better fit
- They have a name in mind and need to check whether it is still available to register
- An existing domain is due for renewal, or it is unclear how to renew it or update the registration details
- The domain is already held, but has not yet been pointed correctly at the company website or email
- They are applying for a .com.hk name and are unsure of the local registration requirements

How we can assist
We can help with:
- Looking up whether a .com, .net or .com.hk name is available, and offering practical advice on the choice of name
- Handling a new domain application, and explaining what each ending is for and when it is a good fit
- Helping you prepare the basic documents needed for a .com.hk application, such as a Hong Kong Business Registration Certificate; the exact requirements follow the rules of the Hong Kong Internet Registration Corporation (HKIRC) and its registrar at the time
- Renewals, transfers, and updates to the registered contact details
- Setting up the domain name system (DNS) so the name points to a website, email or another nominated service
- Planning this together with web hosting, web design and company email, so the online presence and day-to-day mail can be arranged at the same time
Common domain endings
These are the endings we are most often asked to help with. If you need another ending, tell us first and we will advise on what can be arranged at the time.
.com
.com is the most widely used generic top-level domain. It suits general commercial websites and contact with customers overseas. A short, memorable name also works well with a company email address.
.net
.net is also a generic top-level domain, often chosen by network, information-technology or related businesses. If the .com name you want is already taken, .net can be another option, or used for a related or reserve site.
.com.hk
.com.hk is the commercial domain ending for Hong Kong. It helps show a company's connection to business here, and makes the organisation easier for local customers to recognise. Applications generally need to meet the rules of the Hong Kong Internet Registration Corporation (HKIRC), and usually require a valid Hong Kong Business Registration. We will explain the requirements first, then handle the application on your behalf.
The domain is held by the applicant under the rules of the relevant ending. We help with the look-up, the application and later administration; the documents needed, the time involved and the fees are discussed after we understand the name you have in mind. We do not publish estimates on this website.

Check whether a domain name is available
Enter the name you have in mind to check .com, .net, .com.hk and .hk in one place, and see whether they currently have a registration record.
The result is for reference only. It shows whether there is currently a registration record, and does not mean a registration will necessarily go through. Applications for .hk and .com.hk still have to meet the rules of the Hong Kong Internet Registration Corporation (HKIRC). If you would like us to apply on your behalf, please contact us.
