八卦 (.八卦)

The .八卦 domain extension represents the Chinese word for the Eight Trigrams used in Taoist cosmology and the I Ching. It is a generic top-level domain managed by Zodiac Gemini Ltd, a company based in Beijing, China. The domain is open for general registration without specific eligibility restrictions, though its cultural meaning makes it a natural fit for sites discussing Chinese philosophy, fortune telling, or related subjects. Registration services are handled through bagua.wang. The domain was delegated in November 2014, initially to Zodiac Scorpio Limited, before being transferred to its current operator. Zodiac Gemini also runs a number of other Chinese-character TLDs.
