Today, January 17, 2014, is the sunrise of a new era on the Chinese internet.

The clear leaders in new Chinese TLDs, Dot Chinese Online and Dot Chinese Website are now open for registrations.

Our ICANN-mandated "Sunrise" period begins today. Trademark owners which are registered in the Trademark Clearinghouse may reserve fully Chinese domain names in Dot Chinese Online and Dot Chinese Website.

The opening of our Sunrise period coincides with an auspicious day in the ancient Chinese almanac. According to Chinese feng shui experts, today is a particularly lucky day for launching new businesses. The ancient Chinese almanac was created around 200BC, and today continues to be an important guide to the lives and businesses of more than a billion Chinese people.

We created Dot Chinese Online and Dot Chinese Website for the benefit of Chinese people and Chinese language users everywhere. Our fully-open TLDs will support much easier and more logical use of the internet for Chinese people in China and worldwide.

Our domain names are also powerful new tools for industry, government, education and non-profits. Read about our Top 12 Reasons why our fully Chinese domain names are great for brands and businesses: click here.
