<.hk> Chinese Domain Name Registrations To Be Available Soon

Hong Kong Domain Name Registration Company Limited (HKDNR) is soon to introduce Chinese language .hk domain names in the following categories: .hk, .個人.hk, .公司.hk, .組織.hk, .網絡.hk, .政府.hk and .教育.hk (which correspond to .hk, .idv.hk, .com.hk, .org.hk, .net.hk, .gov.hk and .edu.hk, respectively).

It will be possible to register .hk Chinese Domain Names in simplified and traditional character forms as well as in a combination of both. Chinese Domain Names may also contain English letters, numbers or symbols. A .hk Chinese Domain Name registration will cover all character variations of the subject domain name. For example, the registration of ‘遊戲.hk’ will also cover and preclude the simultaneous registration by a third party of ‘遊戲.hk’, ‘游戏.hk’, ‘游戲.hk’ and ‘遊戏.hk’.
