In light of the technological advancements and the digitalization of information, a new realm of "Being" -which is called "cyberspace" - was created by the attempt of modern humans, which while being based on the material world, flows in parallel to it and creates the subsist of the modern human's second world. Reflecting on the position and dignity of this space in the universe and its ontological characteristics appears to be one of today's research necessities. The ontology of cyberspace, which is one of the theoretical studies in this field, can have a decisive role in identifying our mentality and intellectual and behavioral bias in interacting with this space. The current research has explained the existence of cyberspace and its most important ontological characteristics with a library method and a philosophical and intellectual approach. The current research findings are: firstly, the objects in cyberspace are "real", not imaginary and delusional; secondly, they are a kind of "objective existence"; thirdly, they have a "similar to suspended forms" entity and fourthly they are a kind of the real existence not mentally posited. Also, since cyberspace nowadays has invaded and dominated the previous realms of Being, this space has outcropped as "Hyperreality". Finally, the most important ontological characteristics of cyberspace are being digital, the relative eternity of time, the missing link of space and time, and the case of borderless space, virtual memory, being hypertext, being networked and interactive.
