Taiwan ccTLD

Register a .tw domain

If you sell into Taiwan's electronics and semiconductor supply chain, .tw outranks a translated .com every time. TWNIC (Taiwan Network Information Center) runs Taiwan's ccTLD under a mandate from the National Communications Commission, and to Taiwanese buyers and distributors it reads as a real commitment — not a global site with a Traditional Chinese translation bolted on. Our pricing is disclosed upfront: the renewal number matches what's on the checkout screen today.

What it signals

Pros

A direct geographic signal to Taiwanese buyers and to Google's local-market ranking factors
Tied to one of the world's major semiconductor and electronics manufacturing hubs, not a generic geography
Run by TWNIC, the non-profit registry designated by Taiwan's National Communications Commission — not a leased or speculative namespace
WHOIS privacy where the registry allows it, plus done-for-you SPF/DKIM/DMARC email setup
Renewal pricing fixed at the rate you register for — no later increase

Watch-outs

.gov.tw, .edu.tw, and .mil.tw are reserved for qualifying Taiwanese institutions, so those specific suffixes aren't available to general businesses
Carries less instant recognition than .com for customers outside Asia who won't parse it as your brand name
Taiwan's commercial namespace splits between .tw and .com.tw, so you may want both to keep a competitor from holding the other

Registry restrictions

General .tw and .com.tw registration does not require Taiwanese residency or a locally registered company — individuals and foreign entities can register directly. Restricted second-level suffixes exist (e.g. .gov.tw, .edu.tw, .mil.tw, .org.tw for qualifying nonprofits) that are limited to qualifying Taiwanese government, education, military, or nonprofit entities, but the general .tw and .com.tw namespace is open to worldwide registrants.
