Premium .asia domains — the marketplace

2026-06-18|5 min read

SVI Domains is a side product — a hand-picked marketplace of premium .asia domains. Forty-nine names, priced from $1,200 to $30,000, sold via Escrow. Most of the catalog already has working, indexed sites built on top — the buyer receives not a bare address but a ready digital asset with Google history and search presence.

Why we built this

When we started rolling out HandOfHands across the Asian market, we noticed something basic: the best short, memorable, brand-ready .asia names were either parked at registrars or held by speculators who didn't understand their value. The good ones — shoply.asia, visitasia.asia, getai.asia — were sitting unused.

So we bought the best of them. Forty-eight of the top names. Structured them into five tiers — from flagship brands to fast starts for MVPs. Built sites on the top tier to give the names real SEO weight. Made them available through a single curated catalog.

Five tiers, briefly

Tier S — Flagships ($8,000 – $30,000)

Geographic and category leaders. The kind of name a tourism board, regional aggregator, or category-defining brand should own. Examples in the catalog:

  • shoply.asia — $30,000. Pan-Asian e-commerce marketplace name. Drop-in brand for a Shopify-style platform targeting Asia.
  • visitasia.asia — $25,000. Tourism boards, regional DMCs, tour aggregators. Effectively a geographic brand for the continent.
  • getai.asia — $18,000. AI-first SaaS, B2B AI tools, AI-as-a-service brands.
  • visitphuket.asia — $15,000. Hyper-local tourism. Phuket is one of the highest-traffic destinations in SEA.

Tier A — Strong category names ($5,000 – $8,000)

Functional, brandable, immediately readable. joinai.asia, go-to.asia, gocar.asia, gotour.asia, rentcondo.asia, boatly.asia, rently.asia.

Tier B — Verticals ($3,000 – $5,000)

Specific business categories. shiply.asia, bestcafe.asia, bestour.asia.

Tiers C – D — Entry and MVPs ($1,200 – $3,000)

Clean domains with no legal baggage, perfect for MVP launches, landing pages, test campaigns. Transferred the same day payment lands.

What you actually buy

Most domains in the catalog ship with more than the address itself:

  • The domain — clean, no legal history, ownership transferred via Escrow.
  • A working indexed site on top-tier names — built by our agents, present in Google for the target queries, with real organic traffic at the moment of sale.
  • SEO history — the names that have been sitting on indexed sites carry real domain authority, not registrar parking.
  • Same-day transfer once Escrow releases.

Who buys

  • Startups and companies entering the Asian market — a recognizable .asia brand removes the "where are you actually from" friction in conversations with regional partners and customers.
  • Brands launching a new product line in a category that already has a strong domain name in the catalog.
  • Buyers who value indexing and history — paying once for a domain that already ranks is dramatically cheaper than paying for the equivalent SEO build-up over years.
  • Digital-asset investors — short brandable category names in the .asia zone are a finite supply.

How to buy

  • Browse the catalog at /domains.html. Each name shows current price and what's on the domain today.
  • Ask Mai on /chat.html — she can talk through tier choice for your specific use case (SE Asia entry, brand launch, MVP).
  • Direct purchase requests through /contacts.html. We open an Escrow transaction; on funds release, the domain transfers same day.

This is a side product, not the main S.V.I. line — for the core platform see SVI Marketing and HandOfHands.
