| | | .cn addresses and hosting
Is it possible to host .cn addresses (especially mail) here in hk as opposed to China? | |

| | Apart from the registration restrictions Hong Kong hosting company websites seem to imply you can: http://www.hosting.com.hk/ | |

| | | JayKay, yep.. can host anywhere. You can get .com.cn and .cn addys from godaddy.com and host them anywhere in the world.
If you're hosted in China, your hosting company will take care of the ICP license. | |

| | | Yeah I've checked and contacted a few companies. So far 2 say no, 1 says yes! That's professionalism in HK for you! Hosting I believe is possible, email probably not, well not without being routed through China anyway! | |

| | | jaykay we host a few .cn domains and there are no issues. We don't register them though, the customers do. But as Mr Moo says, getting a .cn is not going to make a difference to your email.
How about you get on our servers for a week (try it free) I doubt you will have an issue. We have the most demanding and customers you could want in HK, China and elsewhere and we not had a support China related support call for a few weeks now. | |

hk.com, I may have a more in depth chat with you soon. IPLC lines are already used so this transfer of mail is not an issue. | |

Its certainly not an option to discard so quickly. | | Tools | Search | | | | | Rate This Thread | | | All times are GMT +8. The time now is 10:11 AM. | Partners |
