.cn Market Info and News
I. General Information:
The internet use within China (population of China is to be estimated at 1.3 Billion inhabitants) has developed explosively over
the past months. Several surveys were completed in the cities Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen showing that the internet
useability is increasing more than 50% each year. At this point in time 80% of internet users already have an email-address, with
email being the most frequently used service in China.
Reasons to register a .CN Domain:
- > 60% of chinese Websites are beneath a.CN Domain
- you can provide trust to your customers, by providing an internet presence and showing that
your business recognizes the importance of cultural backgrounds
- in due course it will become more and more difficult to get the proper domain, as
with the internet-growth within China more and more domains will be registered.
