Naming Rules of Chinese Domain Prefixes
When you register a Chinese domain name, please follow the domain naming rules below:
A Chinese domain name must contain at least one Chinese character, and the rest can be English letters (a-z, case-insensitive), digits (0-9), and -.
In most domain registries, the Simplified Chinese version and Traditional Chinese version of a domain name are equivalent. Therefore, you only need to register one of them. For example, if you have registered a domain name in Simplified Chinese, you won’t be able to register its Traditional Chinese version, and vice versa.
The domain name cannot start or end with invalid characters such as -, +, @, &, and space.
The domain name cannot contain only English letters or digits.
Hyphen - cannot appear consecutively, be registered independently, or be placed at the beginning or end.
The length of the domain name after converted to Punycode cannot exceed 63 characters.
Some domain suffixes such as .com.cn, .net.cn, and .org.cn do not support Chinese prefixes.
Naming Rule of English Domain Prefixes

Do not use spaces and special characters such as !, $, &, and ?.
Hyphen - cannot appear consecutively, be registered independently, or be placed at the beginning or end.
The length of the domain cannot exceed 63 characters.
