China's .cn now stands alone atop the list of the largest country code Top-Level Domain (ccTLDs) in the world. It has shot past Germany (.de) at an alarming rate, with between 400,000 and 500,000 registrations occurring per month. With this extraordinary growth, the only Top-Level Domain ( TLD) that exceeds .cn is the omnipresent .com TLD.

The extreme growth in the .cn ccTLD can be attributed to the recent move into the international spectrum, as opposed to being restricted solely to China. Prior to this shift in capacity, .cn domain names were only allowed to be registered by businesses with a physical presence in the country of China. Now, the.con domains are open to the rest of the world, creating heavy demand for .cn domains on a global level.

Today, China accounts for nearly a fifth of the World's internet use, an estimated 56 million users. Within the next 2 years, it is expected that China will account for a solid 25% of the total internet use around the globe. Allowing any international business to register a .cn under this new liberalized policy will most definitely serve as a catalyst in this predicted rise of internet use.

With China's recent accession into the World Trade Organization (WTO), the .cn will allow international businesses to establish market share in China's flourishing overseas economy, giving these businesses the opportunity to gain access to a new, highly targeted demographic of Chinese consumers.

The Chinese economy is moving full speed ahead toward achieving supreme accessibility. Now is an ideal time for brands all over the world to invest in China’s strong and thriving marketplace with the purchase of .cn domains.
