Nifty Corporation, stylized as NIFTY Corporation (ニフティ株式会社) and @nifty (ニフティ), is one of the leading internet service providers (ISP) in Japan.[3] The company was the largest online service provider, Nifty Serve [ja], in Japan. With the spread of the Internet, it started internet service in 1996. In 1999, it absorbed Fujitsu's ISP, InfoWeb. In 2006, the online service was closed due to a decline in users. The company (TYO: 3828) went public in December 2006. It became a wholly owned subsidiary of Fujitsu and was delisted from the Tokyo Stock Exchange on 19 July 2016.[4]

On 1 April 2017, Nifty was split into two companies. The old Nifty Corporation was renamed to Fujitsu Cloud Technologies Limited [ja] (Corporate Number: 7011101062005)[5], which took over its cloud business, and its ISP and web services business was transferred to a newly incorporated entity named Nifty Corporation (Corporate Number: 7011101079619).[6][7][8][9] At the same time, Fujitsu sold all of its stakes in the new Nifty Corporation to electronics retailer Nojima Corporation.[8][9]

On 1 April 2024, Fujitsu Cloud Technologies was absorbed into Fujitsu and then dissolved.[5]
