Um. personal registration are not available anymore, should that be included? 99.226.230.23 (talk) 15:45, 28 January 2010 (UTC)littlebear[reply]

In

a google search, I got < http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/娜扎寧·馬哈巴德·法得希 >.

I, then, found that .zh links here, as a redirect, & no form of "zh" is, in any sense, defined here. I contend that any linguistic category that would earn a wiki, w/ a prefix, would deserve a minimum of one sentence, of some sort. I am certainly not capable of scribing it; but, it should be attempted by someone.

Thank You,

Asian domain registration hoax

[1] might be worth mentioning here, along with the actual rules for domain registration (see CNNIC FAQ). --Tgr (talk) 23:16, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

someone should bother to report the serious crackdown / severe limitation that the Chinese government is enforcing since last Dec. on .cn domains (mass manual review, retroactive id document request, cancellation of many local individual registrations, exclusion of foreigners from future registrations, tons of registrars suspended, reservation to local companies for future regs, grace period restricted treacherously at 10 days for a while and after restored to 45)... there have been many random, unannounced and quite paranoid tricks that they enacted when they realized that the 0.15 USD reg policy of 2007-2008 made the .cn a spam haven (unfortunately).

Domain coverage

This domain is almost universally for Mainland China only. Thus I am altering the intro to reflect this correction. ---华钢琴49 (TALK) 22:32, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It might be a good idea to also mention that Hong Kong and Macau have their own Internet country code of .hk and .mo respectively. Jmccormac (talk) 00:05, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Taiwan's Domain-name

I noticed how Huon keeps reverting my edit from me adding on Taiwan's ccTLD which is .tw from the See also section. I know that Taiwan is not part of the PRC however it is part of China and I believe that extra information should be their. Are there any comments for this statement? 닭 새끼 (talk) 11:27, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see why geographical proximity or shared language should be reasons to add this "see also" link. There is no relevance whatsoever of .tw to .cn or vice versa. Huon (talk) 19:33, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

.hk.cn, .tw.cn, .mo.cn are privately held domains

See here, here and here. Please refrain from adding them to the list. NM 13:53, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

hk.cn, mo.cn, and tw.cn are NOT privately owned domains, and are specified in Ministry of Industry and Information Announcement No. 7 of 2018 and China Internet Domain Name System. This can also be verified by their correspond whois information. If you wise to claim otherwise, please provide a reliable source.

The domain names you pointed at are www.hk.cn, www.mo.cn, and www.tw.cn, which are different from Second-level domain (hk.cn, mo.cn, and tw.cn).

The ownership of the "www" domain does not always correspond to the ownership of the ccSLD; see this instance when a private individual are able purchase www.sb independently from the operator of .sb.

I have already provided you with two authoritative document from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the China Internet Network Information Centre, the manager of .cn ccTLD. Unless you can find other official source contrary to above, your ignorance of how the Domain Name System works does not constitute a "reliable source".
