According to the regulations issued by the China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC), all domain name holders must submit real, accurate, and complete information of registered domain names. Otherwise, the domain name will be canceled. Therefore, you must submit the required materials and pass the real-name verification after you register a .cn domain name. The verification process includes real-name verification of the registrant and a review of the naming of the domain name.
Note The registrars at the Alibaba Cloud international site (alibabacloud.com) are registrars
outside China. You cannot apply for an ICP filing for a domain name registered at
the Alibaba Cloud international site (alibabacloud.com). If you want to deploy your
services such as websites inmainland China, you must register your domain name and complete the ICP filing for your website
at the Alibaba Cloud China site. Otherwise, your website may be inaccessible inmainland China.
