Domain Names:Create a domain name registrant profile

Last Updated:Feb 19, 2024

From February 15, 2022, you must select a registrant profile for which real-name verification is complete to register a domain name with Alibaba Cloud. Before you register a domain name, you must create a registrant profile and complete the real-name verification. Alibaba Cloud Domains allows you to create domain name registrant profiles that can be used to specify registrant information during the registration, transfer, and trade of domain names. We recommend that you create a registrant profile and request the email address verification and real-name verification at the earliest opportunity.

Important

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. This helps save time and maximize efficiency. In addition, most domain name registrars can directly recognize the review results of registrant profiles, which improves review 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 registrar.

  • To use a CNNIC profile to register domain names, you must complete the email address verification after you create the profile.

  • To use the .cn, .中国, .公司, or .网络 domain names that are registered by using a CNNIC profile, you must complete the real-name verification after the CNNIC profile is created. Otherwise, the domain names are in the serverHold state and cannot be used as expected.
