In 2009, DotAsia pioneered a free giveaway promotion program. FreeB.Asia — www.freeb.asia — is, as far as we know, the first ever promotion program by a gTLD registry giving away free gadgets to every new domain registered. For the 2009 FreeB.Asia program, DotAsia gave away a free 2GB mini USB stick for every new “.Asia” domain registered for 2 or more years. With Asia being the undisputed region of electronic gadgets, it is fitting that “.Asia” was the first to offer such an unprecedented premium for the global domain community.
In 2012, following the success of the original program in 2009, DotAsia enhanced the FreeB.Asia program to give away free 7-inch tablet PCs (with Camera) to every new registration (for 10 year registrations), free Bluetooth keyboards (for 5-year registrations), free stylus pens (for 2-year registrations) and free earphones (for 1-year registrations).
