What web hosts can I work with to have a website accessible from China?


I recently visited China for five weeks, and I discovered that, among thousands of other sites, my website and its network host, which houses my artistic creations, is blocked by the Chinese firewall. I would like to do some creative freelancing with the people I met in China, but if they can't get to my website, I'm in trouble, aren't I?

I want to either create a mirror of my site accessible from China, or move to a host that isn't blocked by the Chinese firewall. I'm even willing to get a .cn address for Chinese business, but I only speak English right now, so I wouldn't know how to register for such a site from the United States.

Please help!

Because of the nature of censorship in China dealing with web sites, it might be a good idea to get a .cn website. That's not a guarantee your site will not be blocked if the Chinese censors find anything they don't want others in China to see. But it's a very good start.

The .cn domains are more expensive then the common .com domain names as it's a country specific domain. But you can find some good deals. See the link in the resource as some registrars offer .cn domains for less then $13.00 for the first year. Enough time to try things out.

Your .cn domain name will work just like any other domain name and will be accessible to everyone plus the fact that many Chinese in China are often searching first for websites with .cn and that your .cn domain will be regional to those search engines in China.

I would recommend having some of your web content translated into Chinese. You can have graphics both in English and Chinese. You can also hire a translator and make a few web pages only in Chinese so that Chinese web browsers will identify it as such and display it naturally in Chinese. Give your readers options.

If you need a translator there are many out there that don't charge that much per web page.

i own a domain registration and web hosting business... hit me up... we can see how to work this out... ;)

HostGator.

Bluehost used to be pretty good.
But recently i can't access the homepage from China. Dont know if it is the problem of this company or other issues.
