The .ASIA Landrush Period, spanning from February 20, 2008 to March 12, 2008, received a whopping 473,633 domain name applications. Paired with the Sunrise and Pioneer applications, this brings the total number of .ASIA applications over a half-million. As the fastest growing online audience in the world, it's no wonder the Landrush Period for .ASIA domain names far exceeds expectations.

Domains with multiple applications will go to auction in the coming days. Interestingly, 45,697 domains received more than one application during the Landrush Period, including BUY.asia, HOT.asia, and GOLD.asia. As the exclusive auction partner for DotAsia, Pool.com is ready for the rush.
