What is a .com.cn domain?
.com.cn is the commercial suffix inside China’s .cn country code, run by the China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC), and it is the label Chinese buyers read as “a company”. A name such as yourbrand.com.cn sits at the third level, under the same registry, DNSSEC-signed zone and real-name rules as a direct .cn.
Chinese businesses have used .com.cn since the namespace’s early years, so it still looks established on catalogues, packaging and supplier portals. CNNIC also offers registrant privacy protection through registrars.
| Suffix | Reads as | Open to Indian registrants? |
|---|---|---|
| .com.cn | Commercial company | Yes, after real-name verification |
| .cn | Direct Chinese brand name | Yes, after real-name verification |
| .net.cn | Network or internet services | Yes, after real-name verification |
| .org.cn | Non-profit organisation | Yes, after real-name verification |
| edu.cn, gov.cn, mil.cn | Chinese education, government, military | No — reserved |
Which Indian companies need a .com.cn?
.com.cn is for Indian companies with a commercial relationship in mainland China — a subsidiary, a representative office, a distributor or a long-term supplier base. It tells Chinese counterparts they are dealing with a company, not an individual.
- Pharma and chemicals firms with China sourcing teams that deal with API and intermediate suppliers.
- Indian IT and engineering companies with a Chinese subsidiary hiring local staff.
- Exporters of cotton yarn, seafood, spices or gems handling Chinese importers.
- Retail and electronics brands with a sourcing office in Guangdong or Zhejiang.
- Brand owners protecting a trademark after brand.cn has been taken by someone else.
What does .com.cn cost, alone or bundled with .cn?
A .com.cn costs ₹810 for the first year and ₹1,020 per renewal at WebJi®, before 18% GST; five years total ₹4,890 (₹810 + 4 × ₹1,020). Many firms register .com.cn and .cn together so neither is left for a squatter.
| Option | Year 1 | Each renewal year | 5 years |
|---|---|---|---|
| .com.cn only | ₹810 | ₹1,020 | ₹4,890 |
| .com.cn + .cn | ₹1,620 | ₹2,040 | ₹9,780 |
| .com.cn + .cn + .net.cn | ₹2,430 | ₹3,060 | ₹14,670 |
| .cn.com (CentralNic, not CNNIC) | ₹3,781 | ₹4,928 | ₹23,493 |

What CNNIC checks before a .com.cn goes live
No Chinese presence is needed, but every .com.cn registrant passes CNNIC real-name verification, which usually clears within a few business days. The name does not resolve until the check is complete.
- Search the name and place the order with registrant details exactly as on your documents.
- For a company, supply the business registration certificate; Indian certificates such as the Certificate of Incorporation are accepted.
- Name a real individual as the owner contact alongside the company, as CNNIC requires.
- For an individual, supply a passport or national ID copy.
- Once verified, set nameservers and turn on auto-renew.
.com.cn transfers and the 60-day rule
A .com.cn cannot be transferred within 60 days of registration; after that, the losing registrar must issue the transfer code free of charge under CNNIC’s 2019 implementing rules. Real-name verification applies again at transfer, so keep company documents current through any name change. The WebJi® desk files incoming transfers at ₹810; general steps are on domain transfer.
.com.cn or direct .cn: which should be your main Chinese address?
Use direct .cn when brand.cn is available because it is shorter; use .com.cn as the main address when .cn is taken or when you want the company signal on supplier documents. Neither ending ranks better by itself on Baidu or Google. A .com.cn does not need an ICP filing, but hosting the site on a mainland Chinese server does. Keep your .com or .in as the global site and point the .com.cn at a Chinese-language section; see domain registration in India for every extension we sell.
Frequently asked questions
Is .com.cn run by the same registry as .cn?
Yes. CNNIC in Beijing manages .cn and every open suffix under it, including .com.cn, .net.cn and .org.cn. Prices at WebJi® are the same for all four, and the same real-name verification applies.
Can an Indian Pvt. Ltd. register .com.cn without a Chinese entity?
Yes. CNNIC accepts foreign business registration certificates, so the Indian company can be the registrant. It must also name an individual as owner contact and pass verification before the name resolves.
What does a .com.cn cost over five years?
₹4,890 before 18% GST at WebJi®: ₹810 for the first year and four renewal years at ₹1,020. Holding both .com.cn and .cn for five years costs ₹9,780.
Can I move a newly registered .com.cn to another registrar?
Not in the first 60 days. After that the current registrar must give you the transfer code without charge, and the new registrar re-runs real-name verification.
Does .com.cn offer WHOIS privacy?
CNNIC provides a registrant privacy-protection service through registrars. Your verified identity stays on file with the registry even when public WHOIS output is limited.
