What about .cx domain names? What is the .cx domain name suffix?

The .cx domain is Christmas Island's national domain, assigned by ICANN in 1997. Like .cn, .cc, and other national/regional domains, how do you register a .cx domain?

.cx domains are globally accessible. Currently, both individuals and companies can register, but real-name verification is required.

Registration rates for .cx domains have historically been low, primarily because Christmas Island, a volcanic island located in the eastern Indian Ocean, is an Australian overseas territory. Christmas Island's coastline is 80 kilometers long, mostly cliffs, with only 13 shallow shoals. The largest, Flying Fish Bay, is the island's only port and has a population of less than 10,000.

However, domain names are universal. .cx domains have suddenly become popular in China because CX is the Chinese abbreviation for "program." Mini programs have been a hot topic in recent years, enjoying significant user adoption, yet few people understand the process of creating a mini program.

To establish a mini program, a business or individual needs a domain name, and domain registration requirements are not limited to a specific suffix. Nowadays, with .com and .cn domain names extremely scarce, and entrepreneurs lacking sufficient funds, even small but capable businesses seeking to acquire suitable .com and .cn domain names will undoubtedly face a hardship of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of dollars.

Currently, the number of .cx domain name registrations has not exceeded 10,000, meaning there are still many high-quality domain names available. You can start with just two characters, and businesses can even register with their own mini-program names.
