Why register a Chinese domain name?

China is most populated country in the world with an estimated 1.4 billion inhabitants as of 2019. It's also the world's third largest country by area. The landscape is diverse, ranging from Deserts to the subtropical forests in the wetter south. Believe it or not, China is home to more than 34,687 species of animals and vascular plants, which makes it the third-most biodiverse country in the world, after Brazil and Colombia.

If you conduct business from within the China, it is time to register a .cn domain extension. Registering a dot 'CN' country code extension (top level domain name) will increase credibility for your business across the globe. Chinese businesses expect to see an in-country site address. Country-code domains are meant specifically for businesses that do business within a particular country--in this case, China. The .com domain (and other generic TLDs) are not targeted and that online space is saturated--and you likely already have the .com for your business.

Extend your brand presence with a more relevant, shorter domain--a ccTLD that differentiates you from competitors. Identify yourself as an official Chinese business owner and give your clients and constituents more confidence as they interact with you online. Country code domains also help you rank higher in local search results.
