ICP, Domain .CN for China web hosting
What Is the ICP License in China (ICP备案)
ICP stands for Internet Content Provider. An ICP license is a state-issued registration that allows a China-based website to legally operate in the country.
Having an ICP license lets you host your website on a server in mainland China. It is required for all businesses that have an e-commerce site and for other types of sites in China.
In fact, all sites hosted on a mainland Chinese server must apply for and receive this license before their site goes live.
Why You Need an ICP License
Acquiring an ICP license is a legal requirement in China in order to operate a website in mainland China. Having an ICP license also allows you to access a Chinese content delivery network. You can also get hosting services in China with an ICP license, which allows you to have a faster-loading website.

The most popular Chinese domains are domains ending with .cn and com.cn . Many Chinese multinational companies uses .com domains as their HQ site and .com.cn and .cn for their domestic Chinese website. Cn. is short for China.
Why get a Chinese domain?
There are a number of reasons why any business tapping into the Chinese market should obtain a Chinese domain. We will explain the two main reasons here:
1.Protect your IP assets online
Brands face many risks about protecting their IP assets online, the most known domain infringement risk is cyber squatting where people or an entity registers your company domain at low cost and then try to sell it to you at much higher price. This is manipulation of the first-to-file rule in domain registration. Sometimes your domain could be registered by a competitor who might not even sell you the domain at all. So it is important for companies to protect its company name, product, services and brands through domain name registration of top Chinese.cn domains as early as possible.
2. Localized online marketing portfolio
The world Wide Web has brought the world closer with the click of a button. Globalisation is happening in all fields of life and particularly in the business world. A crucial step to bring a products/service to the global market is by localizing it to target market. Communicating with the local audience in the way they used to absorb information is vital.
As we know the booming of internet use and online marketing in China, getting an on-line presence in China is the easiest and most cost-effective initial market-entry step. Having a .cn domain definitely gives the edge and delivers the information that “we know how you would like things to be done and we are serious about the Chinese market” . Of course there are much more complicated issues could be explored in terms of localized online portfolio but having a domain is definitely a very important market-entry step.
Red Silk provide one stop service to register .CN domain with ICP license and web hosting in China on behalf of your own title. We can help you to launch a reliable website in China. Contact us today to learn more about how we can help. shanghai at redsilk-consulting dot com
Procurement & sourcing service
Lot of companies have taken the wrong approach that sending out quotations on product is the way to measure new opportunities and have being buying on prices that are far beyond the real price but only because they still “save” compare to what they pay in their own countries.
However, it is important to understand that in China, the price received on a quotation is not the true cost of an opportunity. Logistics, lead times, material prices, exchange rates, quality considerations are just some of the factors that measure into cost. Now, more than ever, understanding the factors that affect cost is important in developing a good sourcing strategy and companies should not make decisions after they have experienced serials losses due to the lack of sourcing strategy.
