# Best domain registrars in Taiwan

One of the registrars we track sells .tw and we verified its price, which is unusual for an East Asian ccTLD and makes Taiwan easier to buy into than most of its neighbours. TWNIC accepts applications from domestic and foreign companies, businesses and natural persons, and no longer requires eligibility documents to be reviewed before a new registration, though registrants must still comply with its regulations. The .tw price is flat: first year, renewal and transfer are the same figure, so there is no promotional cliff. .com.tw, the conventional commercial string, is not sold by any registrar we track.

## ccTLDs

### .tw

Taiwan's country code at the second level, open to companies and individuals.

- Eligibility: No local presence requirement. TWNIC states any domestic or foreign company, business or legally registered entity, and any natural person, may apply. New applications no longer require prior eligibility document review, but registrants must still meet TWNIC's regulations.
- Notes: A foreign firm or organisation holding no Republic of China licence may file through an attorney or agent in Taiwan. TWNIC also runs a gateway route for overseas registrars. Pricing on .tw is flat across registration, renewal and transfer at the one registrar we track.

- Registrars we track that sell it: Porkbun (https://www.best-domain-registrars.com/registrars/porkbun/)

### .com.tw

Commercial third level, the standard identity for a Taiwanese company.

- Eligibility: Open to domestic and foreign companies under TWNIC's regulations; the commercial category historically expects a registered business.
- Notes: No registrar we track sells .com.tw, so we hold no verified price. It is available through TWNIC accredited registrars and their resellers.

- Registrars we track that sell it: none — we do not track a registrar selling this ccTLD, which is a gap in our coverage, not a judgement on the ccTLD
