Our assessment

It sets out the documents by registrant type, including a signed letter of commitment and a scanned proof of identity, which is more practical detail than most of the field offers. The weakness is that its own description of the rules is wrong in a way that matters: it calls .cn restricted and says it requires local presence, which the CNNIC rules do not, while its own document list correctly covers businesses outside China. Its statement about serverhold ties the hold to the MIIT ICP record rather than to real-name verification, a stricter claim than the registry makes and one it never explains. Instructive to read next to CentralNic Reseller, which sits in the same group and documents the same registry far better.

Where this provider appears

• .cn trustee comparison, with its fee, five-year total and exit terms in the table.

What is checked

Per-TLD fees and five-year totals, the contract terms on surrender and transfer, the legal entity that becomes the registrant of record in each country, non-payment behaviour, and what shows in each registry's public lookup. Figures are published only once verified against the provider's current pricing, with a date. Ratings are given per extension in each comparison table, weigh contract transparency, exit terms and holding structure ahead of price, and are not affected by affiliate arrangements because there are none.

Last checked September 2026. The assessment is editorial and based on the provider's published terms and public register data. Spotted something out of date? Email info@trusteeindex.com.
