HiChina

Hichina.com is one of the oldest and most prominent domain name registration and web infrastructure services platforms in China, first registered in 1996 at the dawn of commercial internet access in the country. As an early pioneer of Chinese internet infrastructure, the domain has grown alongside the expansion of China's digital economy, now operating under the umbrella of Alibaba Cloud, the cloud computing division of global technology conglomerate Alibaba Group. Hichina.com primarily serves Chinese businesses, developers, and individual website owners, offering core services that include domain name registration, DNS hosting, email services, and entry-level cloud hosting solutions. The domain’s extremely high global traffic rank of #229 reflects its widespread usage across the Chinese internet ecosystem, as it powers DNS and email infrastructure for millions of active domains hosted through Alibaba Cloud’s services. With a 29-year operating history, hichina.com has established long-term trust among Chinese internet users, and is recognized as one of the top domain registrars in the Greater China region. Its long expiration date through 2030 indicates stable long-term ownership and operation by Alibaba Cloud, with no immediate indication of pending changes to ownership or service. As a core infrastructure domain for Alibaba’s cloud computing division, it plays a critical behind-the-scenes role in supporting millions of small and medium businesses operating online in China.
