What is .ed.jp TLD

The .ed.jp TLD is a structured second-level domain within Japan’s .jp namespace dedicated to educational entities. It distinguishes schools and education authorities from commercial or personal registrants, improving clarity for users and search engines. In our registry-wide telemetry, we observe 5,557 active .ed.jp domains and 4,667 live .ed.jp websites, reflecting substantial website deployment relative to registrations. Usage of this space is not solely domestic: infrastructure and contacts associated with .ed.jp websites appear across 5 countries, indicating globally distributed hosting and delivery. These signals help researchers benchmark educational web footprints and monitor policy-constrained namespaces with precision. Download .ed.jp domain datasets from webatla.

History and key features of .ed.jp TLD

Introduced early in the .jp hierarchy, the .ed.jp TLD was designed to segregate education from other sectors through eligibility rules and standardized naming practices. Governance follows .jp policies, emphasizing verified institutional status and consistent identity across networks. Technically, adoption is robust: we resolve DNS for 4,667 .ed.jp domains, closely matching 4,667 observed .ed.jp websites, a sign of active configuration rather than parked holdings. Growth is steady but controlled, with 1 new registration last week and 7 in December 2025 recorded, indicative of a mature namespace. Cross-border footprints span 5 countries via hosting and services, supporting resilient access. Download longitudinal .ed.jp datasets from webatla.
