With the growing availability of new top-level domain name extensions that can be registered in China, this is good news for these new extensions. Especially in today's environment where premium resources for mainstream domain names are becoming scarce, this trend provides investors with broader options.

However, it's important to note that despite the emergence of many new top-level domain names, extensions like .com, .net, .org, .cn, .com.cn, etc., remain the most widely recognized. Enterprises should prioritize the protection of their mainstream domain names and then consider defensively registering brand-related domain names under other extensions as much as possible.
