About the .XIHUAN domain
What is the .XIHUAN domain?
The term "xihuan" (喜欢) means "to like" in Chinese, and this extension was originally conceived tied to a Qihoo 360 social network and link-sharing service, which had nearly 200,000 registered users in mainland China, as part of the company's global service expansion. .xihuan was designed as an open-registration extension, with no specific eligibility restrictions. However, according to legal sources specializing in domain names from 2025, this extension, along with its sister .anquan ("security"), is not yet in effective use, so it's worth confirming actual availability with an accredited registrar.
