June 7 news, the Internet has seen the most expensive Chinese domain name - the Chinese.TM domain. The latest release by Era Interconnection, just like the English.TM, each domain name costs close to RMB20,000.
It is understood that .TM was originally the country code for Turkmenistan but later became widely accepted as the abbreviation for trademark (TradeMark). TM domains represent trademark domains. The highest management authority is NIC.TM, which allows individual registration without the need to submit materials. However, it does not allow the registration of one or two letter or number domains, nor does it allow two-character ISO3166 country codes. Country names are all reserved. In China, the only authorized agency of NIC.TM is Guangdong Era Interconnection (www.now.cn).
Just like the English.TM, the minimum registration period for Chinese.TM is also 10 years, and the market price for each Chinese and English TM is close to RMB20,000. This is currently the most expensive type of domain name on the Internet. It is understood that the English.TM domain name was opened to domestic registrants on April 19th. Despite its high price, many well-known brands have successfully registered, such as msn.tm, apple.tm, sun.tm, baidu.tm, etc.
It is also understood that this time, Era Interconnection launched three types of Chinese domain names at the same time: Chinese.CC, Chinese.TV, and Chinese.TM. Adding the existing ones such as .CN, .com, .net, .sh, .io, .ac, .公司, .网络, .hk, .tw, .biz Chinese domain names, there are truly 14 types of registrable domain names in the market.
