.cloudchina Domain Names

Pre-launch; registry launch pending

The .cloudchina domain offers a clear, memorable fit for cloud services, technology brands and businesses with a China-focused or China-connected identity. It is a new generic top-level domain string associated with the 2026 round of ICANN’s new gTLD programme, where applicants submit strings through the TLD Application Management System and successful applications can later proceed to delegation into the root zone. Publicly announced information identifies Journey To The West Corporation as the applicant associated with .cloudchina.
