6 years after dropping extension, GoDaddy begins selling .cn domain names again.
GoDaddy has started selling China’s .cn domain names again as part of its push into the Asia market.
The company stopped selling .cn domain names in 2010 after the Chinese government cracked down on usage of the domains.
Like many registries and registrars catering to the Chinese market, GoDaddy is now agreeing to collect additional registrant information. If you want to actually use a .cn domain name you purchase at GoDaddy, you’ll have to provide one of the following:
• A valid resident ID, temporary resident ID, business license or organization code certificate from China
• A valid driver’s license, passport or business license from Hong Kong, Singapore or Taiwan
• A valid driver’s license or passport from Australia, Canada, or the United States
