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

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. The trust score weighs contract transparency, exit terms and holding structure ahead of price, and is not affected by affiliate arrangements because there are none.
