How to Register a .COM.CN Domain Name

Registration for “com.cn” domain names is based on the “first-to-file” principle. Meaning that Registrant’s who get in first have the right to the domain name.  There are 60 registrars accredited by CNNIC to undertake the registration of “.cn” Chinese domain names.

After the submission of the domain name registration form, approval is fairly straightforward, as long as the domain name has not been registered and the related company exists (the .cn domain names are not for personal users).

.COM.CN domain name disputes

If an organisation deems that its legal rights and interests have been breached as a result of a particular domain name being registered by another party, it should consult the CNNIC and/or its recognized arbitration organizations, namely CIETAC and HKIAC. You may be responsible for collecting supporting evidence to prove violation of copyright and providing enough documentation to quote your actual loss suffered from a violation.
