Japan
Overview
Japan Registry Services administers .jp, delegated in 1986 and holding approximately 1.7 million domains. Japanese corporations conventionally register beneath .co.jp and other organizations beneath .or.jp, second-level namespaces that carry eligibility rules of their own, while general-purpose registration directly under .jp is also available. Every registrant must maintain an address in Japan, a condition that confines the namespace to the domestic market.
