2.02. Chinese domains

There are two main issues relating to a domain you need to consider when dealing in the Chinese internet marketing: -

  • TLD (Top Level Domain) is the part domain that comes after the “DOT” e.g. .com, .net, etc.
  • The name is the part domain that comes before the “DOT” e.g. “mydomain” in mydomain.com

For a while now, you have been able to register International Domain Name (IDN), in different languages characters e.g. Russian, Arabic, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese, etc..

For more information please see: Chinese domains
