China reopens .cn to individuals, though registrars might be delayed to follow - Individuals can now register .cn domains, but domain registrars may still be cautious about offering the domains. After clamping down on .cn domain registrations a few years ago, China is beginning to open up its country code top level domain again. Yesterday China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC), the registry for .cn domain names, announced that registration would again be available to individuals instead of just businesses.

Verify your .Cn Email Address in 15 Days or You Might Lose your Domain - CNNIC wants you to verify your email address, like, today. This may sound like a really bad phishing scheme, but it’s coming from a legitimate source. RRPproxy is reporting that all owners of China’s .cn domain names are receiving an email notice to verify their registrant information. Failure to respond within 15 days may mean your domain name is processed according to “relevant provisions of the Registry”, which RRPproxy says means the domain name could ... read more ...

China Puts Domain Registrars in Tough Spot, Again - CNNIC reverses role of registry and registrar, and communicates poorly to boot. [Update 7/1: Go Daddy is sending out an email to its .cn customers today, which also links to CNNIC’s notice.] Imagine if VeriSign sent an email to the all .com registrants asking them to click a link to verify they have the correct email address.* If you didn’t respond within 15 days, your domain name was subject to deletion. Sounds crazy, but this is the latest threat from China ... read more ...

China’s .Cn to Quickly Lose Status as Top Country Code Domain Name - From “anything goes” to “nothing goes”, changes to .Cn registration enforcement will reduce the number of .cn domain names. China’s domain name strategy has always perplexed me. For a country known for censoring just about everything, I found it odd that the country was essentially giving away .Cn domain names for about 14 cents. The low cost catapulted China above Germany for the most registered country code top level domain name, a status that China ... read more ...

China May Re-Open Individual Registration of .Cn Domain Names - CNNIC plans to re-open registration. Individuals may regain the ability to register .cn domain names sometime in the future, China Daily is reporting. CNNIC, which manages the .cn country code domain name for China, banned individuals from registering the domain names late last year as it cracked down on pornography and false registrations. .Cn became very popular thanks to cut rate pricing, but the low pricing made the domain a popular tool for criminal activity. Earlier ... read more ...

How Long Until China Confiscates Google.Cn Domain Name? - The Google.cn domain name is in jeopardy. If there’s one lesson learned about country code domain names, it’s that you have little protection as a domain registrant. With Google announcing that it will stop censoring its Google.cn search results, it is basically asking for the Chinese government to shut it down. China can take a number of measures to block access to Google in China. One of the simplest steps is to just confiscate the Google.cn domain name. ... read more ...
