Make your site work in China

Most foreign websites load slowly in mainland China, or not at all. We fix that two ways: an ICP license with hosting inside China, or Chinafy, a CDN service that goes live in 10-14 working days with no Chinese company required. Both prices are on this page.

How it works

CDN Accelerator

We partner with established Chinese CDN providers and set up content delivery around your stack and your traffic. Requests get answered from inside mainland China instead of crossing the border every time, which brings page loads back to normal speed.

ICP or Chinafy

ICP license or Chinafy? It depends on your paperwork.

The choice is mostly decided for you. An ICP license needs a company registered in China, or a colleague with a Chinese ID willing to file through a local agency in a city like Shanghai, Beijing, Hangzhou, or Shenzhen. If you have neither, Chinafy is the practical route.

  • ICP licenseHosting inside China with the MIIT permit. The filing alone can take more than six weeks.
  • ChinafyA CDN layer on top of your existing site. Live in about 10-14 working days, with no server setup or code changes, and the result can be embedded in WeChat.

Frequently asked questions

What is ICP certification?
Internet Content Provider (ICP) certification is a permit issued by the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT). You need it to operate a website in mainland China.
What is Chinafy?
Chinafy is a cloud-based platform that accelerates sites so they load both fast and fully in China.
Why should I get an ICP license or Chinafy?
Two problems, really. Compatibility: many widgets and resources on foreign sites are blocked outright in China, and most of the rest never load because the connection to an overseas server is too slow. Speed: delays stack up at many points along the delivery chain, so some resources take too long to load and some fail entirely. An ICP license or Chinafy addresses both.
