Chinese Learner Posted April 9, 2008 at 05:39 AM Report Posted April 9, 2008 at 05:39 AM Hi, I posted a few months ago because I wanted to register a .cn domain because my .com domain registered with www.godaddy.com (which has recently expired) is not accessible from within China. But now I have reconsidered. I want to renew my .com domain with a new host that is definitely accessible from within China. Who would that host be? Can you please advise me as to a host for a .com domain who is cheap to register with and whose '.com' sites are definitely accessible from within China? Thanks! Quote

Xiao Kui Posted April 9, 2008 at 11:43 AM Report Posted April 9, 2008 at 11:43 AM hostgator also works here is an article on the topic. Although the author says he chose hostgator in the article, since then he has changed to dreamhost. Quote
greenmoon55 Posted April 27, 2008 at 10:18 AM Report Posted April 27, 2008 at 10:18 AM The main problem is IP blocking, not the domain. You can buy a single IP addr so that it's accessible. If you transfer the domain to a Chinese domain provider, it's hard for you to transfer it out. Therefore, many Chinese are buying domains from Godaddy with higher price. I suggest hichina.com Quote
