.jp domains offer a professional online presence for businesses and individuals in Japan. These domains follow specific rules governed by Japan's domain registry authorities.

Registration Guidelines:

• Must adhere to specific country code top-level domain (ccTLD) requirements
• No five-day grace period for cancellations
• No refunds after registration
• Double-check for typos before registering
• Enable auto-renew to prevent expiration

Expiration Policies:

• Tucows-registered domains:

  • Disappear from account dashboard upon expiration
  • Must contact Tucows directly for potential reactivation
  • No restoration through Squarespace

• Key-Systems domains:

  • No grace period after expiration
  • Removed from dashboard immediately
  • Contact support to check reactivation possibility

Important Considerations:

• Perfect for businesses with Japanese presence
• Different rules than standard TLDs
• Must verify eligibility before registration
• Auto-renewal recommended for continuity

These domains require careful consideration before registration due to strict policies and limited flexibility after purchase. Ensure compliance with all requirements and maintain active renewal status to prevent loss of domain access.

Note: Connecting third-party .jp domains to your website isn't subject to these registration guidelines.
