.cn Domain

.cn is the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the People's Republic of China. Introduced on 28 November 1990, the domain is administered by China Internet Network Information Center, a public institution affiliated with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The domain is the largest ccTLD in the world. The Chinese script internationalized country codes are ".中国" ("China" in Simplified Chinese) and ".中國" ("China" in Traditional Chinese). Entities connected to Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan typically use .hk, .mo, and .tw, respectively, despite the availability of corresponding second-level domains under .cn for those regions.

Before the transfer can be started, the domain must be enabled for transfer by the old registrar.

The transfer must be initiated by our system.

To successfully initiate a transfer, you must provide a valid authorization code. You can obtain the authorization code from the old registrar.

Once the transfer has been successfully initiated, the old registrar must confirm the transfer.

If the old registrar does not respond to the transfer within 10 Days, the transfer is automatically confirmed.

Usually, a transfer completes in 10 Days.

After a transfer, our system synchronizes the domain owner from the registry to our system. If possible, you can initiate an owner change if you want to replace the synchronized owner.

Please note that if a .CN domain name is registered with a direct accredited CNNIC registrar (Domestic), it can only be transferred to a gateway registrar (Foreign) with a manual procedure. Please contact our support via email and send us the domain name and the respective authorization code.
