.ren
genericren
.ren is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) aimed at individuals, businesses, and organizations in China. The registry is operated by ZDNS International Limited, based in Beijing. The domain was originally delegated to Beijing Qianxiang Wangjing Technology Development Co., Ltd. in 2014, then transferred to ZDNS in 2019. There are no specific eligibility restrictions mentioned in the registry data, so registration is open to anyone. The WHOIS server is whois.nic.ren and the registration services portal is at http://nic.ren/. The name follows a pattern of short, memorable TLDs common in the Chinese domain market. Its purpose is to provide a recognizable namespace for Chinese entities, though it is not a country-code TLD.
