Register a .hk domain

Register a .hk domain to put a genuine Hong Kong address on your business, without needing a Hong Kong company to do it. .hk has been run by the Hong Kong Internet Registration Corporation (HKIRC) since 1993. Direct second-level registration — yourbrand.hk — is open worldwide, so you can claim the local signal without routing through a category suffix like .com.hk.

$56.90/yr Renews at the same price. No tricks. Privacy free

Who picks .hk?

Businesses opening a Hong Kong office or selling directly to Hong Kong customers
Companies using Hong Kong as their base for a wider Asia-Pacific push
Local founders and professionals who want a domain that reads as Hong Kong on sight

What it signals

Pros

Direct second-level .hk is open globally — no Hong Kong company or HKID required to register
Reads instantly as Hong Kong to local visitors, in a way a .com never will
Free WHOIS privacy where HKIRC's policy permits it
SPF/DKIM/DMARC configured for you so mail lands in the inbox, not spam
Flat renewal price quoted up front, no first-year teaser that jumps later

Watch-outs

Category suffixes like .com.hk, .org.hk, or .idv.hk each carry their own eligibility documents through HKIRC, even though plain .hk itself doesn't
We're not the cheapest .hk seller around — the tradeoff is a renewal price that never surprises you
Less globally recognizable than .com to visitors outside Asia

Registry restrictions

Direct 2nd-level .hk (and .香港) registration has no residency or local-presence requirement and is open to any individual or organization worldwide. Some third-level categories are restricted by purpose/eligibility — e.g. .idv.hk is limited to individuals aged 11+ holding a Hong Kong ID card, .com.hk requires a Hong Kong Business Registration Certificate, .org.hk is for registered non-profits, and .gov.hk/.edu.hk are reserved for government/education bodies — but the plain 2nd-level .hk namespace itself is unrestricted.

Common questions about .hk domains

How much does a .hk domain cost?

A .hk domain is $56.90 per year at Modusdom, and it renews at the same $56.90 every year — no discounted first year that jumps later.

Does a .hk domain renew at the same price?

Yes. Our renewal price equals our first-year price — written into our promises — so your .hk stays $56.90/yr in year 1, year 2, and year 10. Most registrars advertise a cheap first year, then quietly renew higher.

Do I get free WHOIS privacy on a .hk domain?

Yes — free WHOIS privacy is included on every .hk domain, hiding your name, address, email and phone from the public WHOIS record at no extra cost.

Can I transfer an existing .hk domain to Modusdom?

Yes. Transfers are free and add a year to your registration. Unlock the domain at your current registrar, copy the EPP/auth code, and start the transfer — we walk you through it, and your website and email keep working the whole time.

Is a .hk domain right for my business?

A .hk address tells Hong Kong customers, partners, and local search results that you're built for that market specifically — an office opening, a regional headquarters, or a startup that's local by design, not Asia treated as an afterthought on a .com. It is a strong fit for: Businesses opening a Hong Kong office or selling directly to Hong Kong customers; Companies using Hong Kong as their base for a wider Asia-Pacific push; Local founders and professionals who want a domain that reads as Hong Kong on sight.
