China Internet Business Opportunities 1 - Domain Real Estate II

China Business Opportunity

So last time we talked about how all the good .com domains are snatched up by internet pioneers who are making big bucks reselling them. This time we will focus on how we can apply the same principal to the Chinese internet.

But here's the deal, there are actually 3 different families of domain in China now, they are the regional extension of the western .com domain - ending with .com.cn (or .net.cn whatsoever); Chinese internet domain (which ends with a Simplified Chinese character extensions ".公司" (i.e. ".gongsi" which means "company" in Chinese) and/or ".网络" (i.e. ".wangluo" which means "network") where the "dot" character can be typed in either English (ASCII) or Chinese; and the third type is called 3721, which uses Chinese words or phrases as the address of the websites without any extensions.

So most of us already know about the .com.cn, so I am not going to talk about it. In the next entry I will explain further about the Chinese Internet Domain as well as 3721.

So stay tuned in China business opportunities for more info on cyber real estate in China.
