Digital Oasis

As a tech-driven Hong Kong brand, the domain name “.hk” is naturally the first choice for our website. Apart from the convenience, the stringent registration process of “.hk” boosts confidence of our partners and consumers. For example, a business registration certificate is required for the registration of the domain name of “.com.hk”, making it difficult for hackers or phishing websites to replicate, thus greatly enhancing the professionalism and credibility of the brand. In addition to contributing to the smooth operation of business, the secure and reliable “.hk” website also offers dual protection to customers shopping online.
