Get your .cn domain for less than 13 cents

March 7th, 2007

The CNNIC had a press release at Beijing today. CNNIC will start a promotion package for .cn domain.

That is, the cost for the first registration year for a .cn domain will be only RMB 1 Yuan, which is less than 13 cents in US$.

CNNIC believes that the promotion will attract more chinese and companies to register a .cn domain. A expecting .cn domain rush will expand the market scale of internet business.

Although .cn domain registratin fees is the main revenue for CNNIC, they still have the resposiblity to help the chinese internet market.

I believe that more .cn domain registration will bring more commercial or non-commercial website into this market. More business is right on the corner.

All the visits to www.google.cn were redirected to a chinese B2B site, which was owned by a .cn domain registrar. The same happened to MSN and 4 other global brands.

At the year of 2002. Google.com was once hijacked and redirected to Baidu in China.
