.cn

The .cn domain is the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the People's Republic of China. It is administered by the China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC).

.cn is among the largest country-code domains globally. Registration rules have varied over time; individuals and organizations may face documentation or local-presence requirements depending on registrar and current CNNIC policy. Second-level spaces such as .com.cn are also widely used.

Chinese companies, government services, and brands selling into mainland China commonly use .cn. International firms entering the Chinese market often register .cn defensively even when their primary site remains on .com.

Confirm current eligibility and document requirements with the registrar before purchasing; rules can differ for overseas registrants.
