Cloudflare China Network provides a nearest-to-client nameservice by default. The DNS request is resolved on the data center nearest to the client out of China, and the HTTP request is served on the data center nearest to the client. The closest Cloudflare data center outside of China is adopted for clients outside of China, and the JD Cloud data center in China is adopted for clients in China.

The type of ICP you must obtain depends on the type of website you are providing to customers in China:
| Definition | An ICP filing, known in Chinese as “Bei’An,” is the first level of ICP registration. An ICP filing enables the holder to host a website on a server or CDN in mainland China for informational purposes only. | An ICP license, known as “ICP Zheng” in Chinese, allows online platforms or third-party sellers selling goods and services to deploy their website on a hosting server or CDN within mainland China. |

Cloudflare recommends that you apply for an ICP license through your hosting or Cloud Services Provider. You will need to provide the necessary documents to your provider to register the ICP number on your behalf:
| – ICP application form<br/>– Copy of your personal ID<br/>– Forms to authenticate website information<br/>– Copy of your domain certificate | – Copy of your business license<br/>– Your organization code certificate |
43
41
42

After all required documents are submitted, it can take four to eight weeks to obtain an ICP depending on the type of website and the province where the company is registered. Although there is no cost to register with the MIIT, your provider may charge you a fee.
