A registrant profile stores your contact details (name, address, email) and pre-fills them during domain registration, simplifying management of multiple domains.
The Alibaba Cloud international site (alibabacloud.com) uses domain registrars based outside the Chinese mainland. Therefore, domain names registered on the Alibaba Cloud international site are not eligible for ICP filing. If you need to deploy your website or other services in the Chinese mainland, you must register the domain name on the Alibaba Cloud China site (aliyun.com) and complete the ICP filing. Otherwise, your services may be inaccessible from the Chinese mainland.
Alibaba Cloud offers two types of registrant profiles:
-
Common profile: For most top-level domains (TLDs).
-
CNNIC profile: For
.cndomains. CNNIC requires identity verification for all.cnregistrations.
