There seems to be a slight misunderstanding regarding the question asked. Top-Level Domains (TLDs) are the unique identifiers that are found at the end of a web address right after the last dot.
For example, in the URL www.example.com, “.com” is the TLD. TLDs are usually related to a specific country or a particular category of organizations. Some notable examples of TLDs are “.com”, likely the most common for commercial websites; “.net”, mostly for networks; “.org” for organizations; “.gov” for U.S. government entities; “.edu” for educational institutions, and so on. There are also country-specific TLDs such as “.uk” for the United Kingdom, “.cn” for China, or “.in” for India.
As laid out by ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers), who is responsible for managing TLDs, there is no “.shouji” TLD in existence. The full list of TLDs can be found on their official website (https://data.iana.org/TLD/tlds-alpha-by-domain.txt).
However, it’s important to note that “shouji,” in Chinese culture, generally refers to mobile phones. Therefore, one might assume that a “.shouji” domain could be related to mobile phone-related content. But since there is no TLD “.shouji” according to ICANN, this cannot be implemented.
Moreover, even if it did exist, you would have to pay a registration fee to a domain name registrar, which is an organization that manages the reservation of internet domain names. Examples of domain name registrars include companies like GoDaddy or Namecheap, which provide third-level domain services, where a third-level domain is the part of a website’s URL that comes before the TLD (ex: the “example” in “www.example.com”).
It’s also worth mentioning that ICANN are constantly adding new TLDs to their database, and there might be a possibility in the future for more culturally- or country-specific domains to exist, similar to “.shouji.” If that were to happen, this new TLD would then need to follow the same guidelines that all other domains have to, ensuring the security and stability of the internet’s domain name system.
In conclusion, there is no “.shouji” as a top-level domain at present according to ICANN’s list of TLDs, nor according to any other official or commonly recognized lists. The term “shouji” appears to be a transliteration from Chinese referring to mobile phones, which could possibly explain its mention with relation to internet domains, but as of now it has no specific standing within the system of top-level domains on the internet.
