Wait until March when .CN comes out..NOT .com.cn ..

Disclaimer: I bought 1 .com.cn

 

[petertdavis]

I saw that you can pre-reg those .cn names so maybe they're worth it

 

[mastmnds]

where can yu pre reg those names?

 

[clemzonguy]

Do you have to be a communist and forfeit all your rights in order to buy a .CN name?

Or can you simply like Sesame Chicken and Terriyaki! :swg:

No offence, but I wouldn't recommend you registering any .cn domain name if this is what you know about China, especially the Terriyaki part ... LOL! :laugh:

Does CN stand for Communist Nation ... lol ...

I would never (again) speculate on a ccTLD. Just my opinion.

hmmm not worth it..... the registration fee is pretty high

 

[URLtrader]

Getting small, one word generic names related to business or industry is ok for the fee they are asking. Anything else is waste of your precious $$$.

Actually url, I just registered my first .com.cn today at eNOM and the "fee" is the same as anything else I've registered on the .com, .net, .org namespace i.e. $29/year (but 2 years minimum).

Aside, I thought I'd get a .com.cn to forward to my real target landing site, .cn. So when people type-in myname.com.cn, the .com disappears and URL reflects just .cn :evil:

I made the decision to grab the .com.cn version after I saw ESPN advertising the address on cable TV. Hey, its no sweat off the camel's back especially when registering names are so cheap.

mole, why don't you set up yourself as an eNom reseller and pay a much lower registration fee. You don't need a lot of volume. For instance, you could easily get a $9.95 account by funding just $100 (that's only about 3 names you register using their retail pricing which I reckon as a mark-up by intention).

And you can easily convert your existing account into a reseller on by e-mailing their support. Their reseller sales support is quite responsive.

Be your own registration provider. Take a look at ville.org's whois, I am now my own registration service provider. Isn't that cool?

Thanks for the kind advice, name. I thought about it and really don't want the hassle of being a reseller. I'm stressed enough on my offline job. But much appreciate it. Thanks.

I'm in .cn extension. The IT business target is now in china, this is to develop the IT infrastructre, along the way, domain names will always be part of it.

Mole, if you need reseller account. Please let me know, I can create one for you. You may use it for personal use or business. I can give you .com.cn, .net.cn to $27.95.

Let me know.
