Creating a web site on platforms like Alipay or WeChat is very difficult for foreign entrepreneurs, so they have to create their own site. Interestingly, Chinese residents prefer domains that only consist of numbers, as they are easier to remember. Numbers can also convey homophones and whole phrases, such as 51job.com meaning "I want to (find) a job".

Each digit has its own value in China, such as 8 meaning "getting rich" or "not". However, when looking for a domain name, be cautious of stumbling upon Chinese blаckjack. So, if you plan on creating a website targeting a Chinese audience, choosing a domain name with numbers may be a wise choice!

In China, there are popular phrases based on numbers such as 88 meaning "bye bye", and 520 meaning "I love you". Adding other numbers creates new phrases, for example 52094 means "I love you very much". Different combinations of numbers are also used to convey emotions or actions, such as 06537 which means "you pissed me off".

 Additionally, some numbers are used for specific expressions like 729 meaning "let's go drink". In online communication, 666 often means "cool" or "classy", while 333 is used to urge someone to return, and 233 is a way to express laughter. It's interesting to see how these numbers have taken on a new meaning in the digital age and have become an important part of online communication in China.

Registering domain names in .com.cn and .cn requires passing an identity check by providing dоcument verification, such as a passport. Registration will be approved upon successful verification. However, the default domain will not be available for mainland China residents until a special application is submitted to a government agency, which will approve and enter it into a special registry.
Only companies registered in China are eligible to submit the application. It can be daunting to navigate the regulations and procedures necessary to register a domain in China, but it's crucial for businesses looking to establish themselves in the country. Therefore, it's important to work with experts who have experience with the process to ensure a smooth registration.

That's an interesting observation about domain names in China. It's true that numbers hold significant cultural meaning in China, and using them in domain names can be a clever way to convey certain messages or make the website address more memorable.

However, it's important to be mindful of potential cultural nuances and avoid unintentionally stumbling upon unwanted associations, as you mentioned with Chinese blаckjack. Overall, understanding the cultural preferences and symbolism associated with numbers in China can certainly be helpful when creating a website targeted at a Chinese audience.
