To ensure reliable domain management, we have decided to discontinue our trustee service for new registrations under the .CN and .COM.CN extensions. Effective immediately, we will no longer offer this service.

Existing domains currently utilizing the trustee service will be gradually transitioned from trustee data to the actual registrant’s registration data. This step is taken to ensure the secure operation of these domains. Trustee or local presence services are not required for the registration of .CN and .COM.CN domains. Additionally, there are indications that the registry operator CNNIC is changing its stance on the use and legitimacy of such services.

Another reason for this decision is the potential risk associated with the continued use of the trustee service. In the worst-case scenario, an abusively used domain could result in the suspension of all domains managed by the trustee. CNNIC has announced stricter controls on registration data for the future, and we aim to minimize the risk for our customers.
