About .cn

.cn is the country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the People's Republic of China. Chinese companies use the .cn extension, and second- and third-level .cn domains (.com.cn , .net.cn , .org.cn) are widely accepted and recognized by the Chinese population.

.cn offers registrants the protection of a well-established brand name in what has become one of the most lucrative marketplaces in the world. In addition, .cn can put Chinese customers at ease, giving them the security of dealing with businesses that have a substantial, "localized" Chinese presence as well as an international one. Finally, .cn enjoys widespread recognition among the Chinese population, and is a simple and memorable Web domain.

Encourage your customers to expand their presence and protect and build their brand in one of the world’s fastest-growing markets! For additional information on the .cn domain, see our FAQ.
