Before you register a domain name with Alibaba Cloud, you must create a registrant profile and complete the real-name verification. This way, you can select the registrant profile when you register a domain name.
After the real-name verification for a registrant profile is complete, you can use the profile as a template when you register domain names, modify domain name registrant information, or purchase domain names. Registrant profiles eliminate the need for repeated submission of information and materials. In addition, most domain name registries can directly recognize the review results of registrant profiles. This helps save time and maximize efficiency.
Registrant profile description
Alibaba Cloud allows you to create two types of registrant profiles: common profiles and China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC) profiles. You can use the registrant profiles to register domain names and transfer the ownership of domain names in different scenarios.
Profile type | Scenario | Description |
Common profile | You can use a common profile to perform operations such as domain name registration, ownership transfer of domain names, and transfer of domain names to Alibaba Cloud. The .cn, .中国, .公司, or .网络 domain names are not supported. | To use a common profile to register domain names, you must complete the email address verification after you create the profile. |
CNNIC profile | You can use a CNNIC profile to perform operations such as domain name registration, ownership transfer of domain names, transfer of domain names to Alibaba Cloud, and real-name verification on the .cn, .中国, .公司, or .网络 domain names. These domain names are provided by the CNNIC registry. |
