Taipei City government services can already be reached through the new extension, such as the Taipei MRT ( http://metro.taipei/ ). Businesses who have participated in the pioneer period like the Taipei 101 ( http://taipei101.taipei/ ) may also now be reached under their new website address.

Gandi is an accredited registrar for .TAIPEI with an office in the city. The price for registering a .TAIPEI domain name with Gandi is NT$698 for a one year period. Anyone who creates its .TAIPEI domain through Gandi may benefit from setting up its website easily by using Gandi Site.

The .TAIPEI extension joins other city extensions such as .TOKYO, .PARIS and .LONDON which now exist alongside the traditional extensions such as .TW, .COM and .NET. Gandi, which is currently the most popular registrar for .PARIS sees growing popularity of the new extensions. In Paris, visitors to the Eiffel Tower may find any information on http://toureiffel.paris/.

A few weeks ago, Google used a .XYZ domain name to announce the creation of its holding company Alphabet Inc. by using the website http://abc.xyz/. This and over 600 additional extensions can be bought through Gandi.

Gandi, which has its head office in France now manages over 1.7 million domain names since 15 years also highlighted that companies which own a brand name may gain early access to new top-level-domains as it was the case for .TAIPEI. Trademark holders should register their .TAIPEI domain names now to avoid registration by unknown third parties.
