China's Internet domain name registrars are at great risk and may not be able to access their websites in the future

It is recommended that both companies and individuals, inBuilding websiteDo not register domain names in China, because there are huge security risks.

If you have registered a domain name in China, in order to avoid risks, you should transfer the domain name to a foreign country as soon as possible.

Chinese regulatory restrictions

The biggest risk of registering a domain name in China is the risk of being restricted by Chinese regulations.

Your website may be at risk of domain name suspension, the technical term is "clientHold".

It may be disabled for various reasons...

• Although this domain name is your purchase and registration, in China, the domain name registered by you is not a domain name that you can control.
• Your domain name will have a status of "clientHold" everywhere, probably because of the comments and comments on your website, your domain name will be permanently banned.

Niubo.com domain name is restricted by Wanwang ClientHold

One of the earliest known cases is Luo Yonghao's Niubo.com, which gathered a group of famous and well-knownperson, such as Liang Wendao, Han Han, Lian Yue, Chai Jing, etc... The daily traffic exceeded 100 million, but after the domain name was restricted by Wanwang ClientHold, the website access soon disappeared...

A few years later, even Niubo.com was taken away for no reason.

In China, domain registrars like to enforce ClientHold haphazardly.

In addition to the intervention of the administrative department, there have even been cases of Chinese domain name resellers executing ClientHold after receiving complaints from ordinary customers.

HC Network transfers domain names abroad

For example, in the 2011 "Huicong Internet Disconnection" incident, Wanwang received an infringement complaint provided by the American Kohler Company, accusingE-commerceThe website HC has an infringing store page, so the HC domain name is implemented as ClientHold.

HC.com also launched the "Anti-Wanwang Hegemony" website, accusing Wanwang of this kind of behavior, but the event has disappeared, and HC also transferred the domain name abroad (registrar: NAME.COM, INC.).

In contrast, when registering a domain name abroad, except for malicious infringement of the registered domain name, there is basically no policy risk, and there is no sudden “clientHold”, your domain name belongs to you.

So, to register a domain name, you must be registered in a legal country (such as the US), and your domain name really belongs to you.

technical risk

When registering a domain name in China, in many cases, you do not have full authority to manage the domain name.

Many rights that belonged to you have become "features" provided by them, and you have to spend extra;

Also, unblocking Chinese mainland domains is often a hassle.The domain name registrar will set various conditions (for example, charging, providing a password for one year of renewal, mailing proof materials, etc.) to increase the difficulty of domain name transfer, making domain name transfer and domain name transfer super difficult.

In the case of registering a domain name abroad, the registrar usually grants the user full control and transfer of the domain name.

Domain name transfer and domain name transfer can be operated directly online without any functional restrictions.

Domain Name Authority

From the perspective of the management organization, the cn domain name belongs to the national domain name and is managed by CNNIC.

The China Internet Network Information Center is responsible for the management.

• The specific registration is carried out by the agents who have been certified and authorized by CNNIC.

International domain names such as com are administered by ICANN (The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers).

• Specific registrations are also performed by ICANN-authorized agents.

Therefore, there is no need to register and use a cn domain name.

Conclusion

In short, the risk of a business hosting a domain name in China is high.

If the Ministry of Industry and Information, strictly enforces Article 37 of China's Internet Domain Name Management Measures, it will force companies to transfer domain names to China, thereby being able to "review any domain names that are not registered in China"...

That's why this provision will cause widespread panic in the industry.
