.CLUB Domains announced today that China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has granted a license to .CLUB’s Beijing based wholly foreign-owned entity (WFOE) company, making it among the very first foreign registries of a new gTLD (generic top-level domain) to be approved by the Chinese government.
.CLUB is among the first 3 foreign domain name registries approved by the Chinese government along with .VIP and .XYZ.
Previously, only Verisign (.COM, .NET) had been awarded approval as a non-Chinese registry. China accounts for more than 42.5% of all new gTLD registrations or more than 11 million new domain name registrations, according to ntldstats.com – making it one of the world’s most influential markets for the Internet domain industry.
