Recently, a domain investor asked me to comment on the differences between .cn.com and .com.cn names, their marketability, sales potential, and trends.
Note that I use the term “names” here to avoid the confusion between domain and subdomain. For example, cn.com is a domain but Alibaba.cn.com is a subdomain or third level domain.
CentralNic runs .Cn.com and its home page indicates that .cn.com names can be registered via registrars such as Network Solutions, eNom, Key Systems, 123Reg, and ResellerClub.
CentralNic Group Plc (LON:CNIC) provides registry services, distribution, and strategic consultancy for new TLDs, ccTLDs and SLDs.
