Top reasons to register .cn domain name and host a Chinese website inside China

  1. .cn domains are officially only for companies operating in China, so having one gives confidence to consumers.
  2. .cn domains are prioritised by China’s leading search engine (with 70% of the market), Baidu.
  3. If a cyber squatter registers your .cn domain before you, they can publish a fake website and divert customers away. Legal recourse would be extremely difficult in China.
  4. Servers hosted outside of China are slow to access for Chinese web users due to bandwidth issues and censorship. Websites hosted in US or Europe often time-out before fully loaded.
  5. Search engines may not show the results if the website takes too long to load, and prioritise websites hosted inside China.
  6. Even if you already have a Chinese website, it would be difficult to find and slow to view if you are hosting it outside China.
