Global Top Level Domains
We recently added some 100 new ccTLDs (country code Top Level Domains) for you to choose from and build your web presence with. Here you can review the registration restrictions for the different international domain extensions Hostway offers, before you register your domain name.
| TLD | Country | Registration Period | Description |
| .pro | Generic | 1-10 Years | Any professional person can register a 2nd Level name of their choice with no additional restrictions other than those in place to verify their 'professional status'.

If you are not a a legal entity within this area, Hostway will be offering a 'proxy' service whereby customers will be able to secure a .asia domain name even though they are applying from outside a .ASIA affiliated country.
