What is a .cn.com domain, and what it is not
A .cn.com address is a third-level name under cn.com, a domain that CentralNic holds inside the ordinary .com zone and sells names beneath; it is not China’s country code and not an ICANN top-level domain. China’s official namespace is .cn, run by CNNIC, with .com.cn as its commercial branch. The two spellings look alike but come from different organisations under different rules.
| Attribute | .cn.com | .com.cn |
|---|---|---|
| Where it sits | Under cn.com, inside the .com zone | Under .cn, China’s ccTLD |
| Operator | CentralNic (Team Internet Group plc) | CNNIC |
| Registrant verification | None; no documents | Real-name check with passport or business certificate |
| Disputes | CentralNic Dispute Resolution Policy, via the National Arbitration Forum | CNNIC’s own dispute policy |
| WebJi® first year | ₹3,781 | ₹810 |
CentralNic Group plc renamed itself Team Internet Group plc in September 2023. Its registry division still runs the family of country-plus-.com zones such as .us.com, .uk.com and .de.com.
Who buys a .cn.com name from India?
.cn.com is bought by Indian businesses that want a China-facing spelling without CNNIC’s identity paperwork, and by brands blocking a lookalike of their name. Typical buyers are sourcing agents with partners in Guangzhou or Yiwu, exporters building a Chinese-language landing page, and companies whose brand protection policy covers common variants.
- Sourcing and import agent: yourfirm.cn.com for supplier onboarding pages.
- Exporter with a Chinese brochure: spices or granite exporters publishing a Mandarin product page.
- Brand-protection holder: registering the cn.com variant so a third party cannot.
- Trade-show campaign: a short URL printed on stall material for a China fair.
If Chinese buyers are the main audience, the verified .com.cn is the address they recognise as local; .cn.com is the no-paperwork alternative.
How much does .cn.com cost at WebJi®?
.cn.com is ₹3,781 for the first year and ₹4,928 per renewal year at WebJi®, before 18% GST; a transfer-in is also ₹3,781. Three years add up to ₹13,637 before tax (₹3,781 + ₹4,928 + ₹4,928). The CNNIC zones are much cheaper, while other CentralNic country zones vary widely.

What are the registration and expiry rules for .cn.com?
CentralNic applies no nationality, local-presence or document requirement, so an Indian individual or company registers with Indian contact details on a first-come basis. Labels run from 3 to 63 characters, terms from 1 to 10 years, and DNSSEC is supported. Hosting a site on servers inside mainland China is a separate matter that needs an ICP filing whichever domain you use.
- Transfers: need the authorisation code, can take up to 6 days, and add one year to the term.
- After expiry: 33 days of soft quarantine with free restore, then 28 days where restore is charged.
- Final stage: 5 days of PendingDelete, after which the name is released to the public.
- Deleting a name: skips the free stage and goes straight into quarantine.
.cn.com vs .com.cn vs .com: which is right for a China-facing site?
Choose .com.cn if you can complete CNNIC verification and want Chinese users to see a local address; choose .cn.com if you want a China-themed name today with no paperwork; keep a .com as the global master site. No ending ranks better by itself, and Chinese search engines weigh hosting location and ICP status more than the extension.
- .com.cn: ₹810, verified, the local default for Chinese buyers.
- .cn.com: ₹3,781, instant, useful for campaigns and brand protection.
- .com: ₹1,380, global and neutral; pair with either China variant.
Indian exporters planning several markets can see how WebJi® supports them on the manufacturing and export industry page.
After you register .cn.com
A .cn.com name takes nameservers and DNS records exactly like a .com, so it can point at any host or redirect to your main site. Keep auto-renew on to stay clear of the quarantine stages above, and use domain transfer if the name is currently with another registrar. Every other extension, including the full CentralNic set, is listed under domain registration India.
Frequently asked questions
Is .cn.com the official domain of China?
No. China’s official country code is .cn, managed by CNNIC. A .cn.com name is a third-level address under cn.com, a domain owned by CentralNic inside .com. It resolves worldwide but carries no official Chinese status.
Does .cn.com require Chinese real-name verification?
No. Real-name checks are a CNNIC requirement for .cn, .com.cn, .net.cn and .org.cn. Because .cn.com sits outside CNNIC’s namespace, CentralNic asks only for normal registrant contact details.
What does a .cn.com domain cost over three years?
₹13,637 before 18% GST: ₹3,781 for the first year and two renewals at ₹4,928. For comparison, three years of a verified .com.cn at WebJi® cost ₹2,850 (₹810 + ₹1,020 + ₹1,020).
How are .cn.com disputes handled?
Under the CentralNic Dispute Resolution Policy, administered through the National Arbitration Forum. It works much like the UDRP used for .com, so a trademark owner can file a complaint against a bad-faith registration.
Can I restore a .cn.com name after it expires?
Yes, for a while. Restoration is free during the first 33 days and costs a fee during the following 28 days of quarantine. After a final 5-day PendingDelete stage the name is released for anyone to register.
