The hosts listed below are headquartered in Japan. Compare their services, then check each provider's data-centre locations, renewal prices and support options before you decide.
How to choose
- Confirm where the servers are. A host based in Japan may still run data-centres elsewhere; check the exact location.
- Check how the host supports APPI compliance, including a data-processing agreement if you handle personal data.
- Look for support in your language and time zone.
- Check billing currency and local tax handling on invoices.
- Compare the renewal price, not just the first term. Introductory prices often apply only to the first billing period.
- Confirm backups are automatic and restorable by you. Ask how often they run and how long they are kept.
