About .CN domain names
.CN is the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for mainland China. It is currently the sixth most common top-level domain, after .com, .de, .net, .uk and .org with over 7.62 million registrations.
Second-level domain names include generic second-level domains such as com.cn, edu.cn and gov.cn, and second-level domains of provinces such as bj.cn, hn.cn and sh.cn.
About Chinese domain names
Chinese domain names are domain names that contains at least one Chinese character. Domain names with Chinese characters may also be registered at the second level under the .cn TLD.
Latest June, ICANN approved the use of the internationalized TLD .中国 (".china" in Simplified) and .中國 (".china" in Traditional) by CNNIC. These two TLDs were added to the DNS in July 2010.
Moreover, CNNIC also proposes Chinese domain names in .公司 (".com" in Chinese) and .网络 (".net" in Chinese). However, these are not recognized by ICANN and are only available via domestic registrars.
CNNIC manages .CN and Chinese domain names
Founded in 1997, the China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC) is a non-profit organization responsible for administering and managing .cn and Chinese domain names.
CNNIC operates under China's Ministry of Information and Industry (MII), an agency that oversees telecommunications, multimedia, broadcasting and satellite transmissions across China.
How to register a .CN or a Chinese domain name
CNNIC accredited Chinese Domain Name registrars responsible for providing Chinese Domain Name registration services. Based on the principle of "first come, first serve", you may select one of them, and go to their website to proceed with the online registration.
Any business or organization, worldwide, can register a .cn name under a new liberalized policy that no longer restricts .cn registrations to Chinese. Currently the registration is not yet open to individuals.
When you register a simplified Chinese domain name, you will automatically and freely get a traditional Chinese domain name.
If you want to engage a dispute related to Chinese Domain Name, you shall contact the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Center.
