About .hk

.hk is the country code top-level domain for Hong Kong, managed by the Hong Kong Internet Registration Corporation Ltd. (HKIRC). It is open to any individual or organization with a local presence in Hong Kong, including companies registered there and residents. The domain supports both Chinese and English characters for internationalized domain names. HKIRC operates under a policy that encourages broad use while maintaining local accountability. The registry URL and WHOIS services are handled through hkirc.hk. One interesting note: .hk was one of the early ccTLDs, registered in the IANA root zone on January 3, 1990, long before Hong Kong's handover to China in 1997.

Eligibility & restrictions

Registrants must have a local presence in Hong Kong, such as a registered business or residency.
