REGISTERING A .hk DOMAIN NAME
Registration of .hk domain names is carried out by HONG KONG DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION COMPANY.
IndoScot can help you through the process of registering with them as it is not as straight forward as registering a .com or similar domain name. A .com can be registered at a click of a button and become active within 24 hours. A .hk is a longer process requiring supporting documentation and can take 2 weeks.
