NeuLevel, Inc., the registry for .BIZ and Taiwan Network Information Center (TWNIC), the non-profit organization responsible for domain name registration and IP address allocation in Taiwan, today announced that the .TW country code will provide English second level domain name registration services starting November 1.

Currently, only third-level .TW domains are offered. The ccTLD is open to international businesses, organizations and individuals. Businesses are not required to have a presence in Taiwan, contacts or associations with Taiwan or Taiwanese name servers.

TWNIC is responsible for administering and managing the .TW domain, and oversees all .TW domain name registration services to registrars and resellers in Taiwan. NeuLevel is the registry gateway operator for the .CN and .TW country code top-level domains to registrars outside of China and Taiwan.

"Providing a locally recognized domain name extension will enable the global business community to effectively communicate and engage in Taiwan's rapidly growing business and consumer market," said Reza Jafari Managing Director, International for NeuStar.
