How to report abuse to Alibaba Cloud (HiChina)
Report counterfeit and brand-abuse domains to Alibaba Cloud.
Where to report
Report a HiChina/Alibaba Cloud domain through the Reporting Center at report.alibabacloud.com (Infringement Reporting for trademark or copyright; Illegal Information Reporting otherwise) or email domainabuse@service.aliyun.com for illegal content. Accepted reports are forwarded to the registrant within 5 business days.
- Abuse report form
- report.alibabacloud.com/#/reportCenter/home
- Abuse email
- domainabuse@service.aliyun.com
Include in your report
- The domain and the specific URLs of the infringing or illegal content
- The specific laws and regulations allegedly violated
- Trademark registration certificate or other proof of rights
- Supporting materials such as screenshots and purchase evidence, in legitimate file formats only
- Your identity and contact details (a Reporting Center account is needed to track progress)
Alibaba Cloud (HiChina) registers the domain; it can suspend or lock a domain but cannot edit the site's content. If the abuse is the content itself, report it to the hosting provider as well.
Alibaba Cloud, operating its registrar as HiChina (Alibaba Cloud Computing Ltd. d/b/a HiChina), is the largest registrar in China and among the largest in the world. It runs a Reporting Center for infringement and illegal-content complaints and publishes a domain-abuse email, with a process that forwards accepted reports to the registrant.
A Alibaba Cloud (HiChina) abuse report can suspend or lock the domain. It cannot rewrite the website. If the fake store or phishing page is still live, file a parallel complaint with the hosting provider. For a cloned storefront selling your products, follow how to remove a fake website. If someone registered your business name and the domain is parked or for sale, use the domain dispute playbook instead of an abuse form. Free takedown templates cover the wording.
Why brand-abuse sites show up on Alibaba Cloud (HiChina)
A very large share of counterfeit storefront domains selling to Western consumers are registered through HiChina, often alongside Alibaba Cloud hosting. The reporting process is functional but formal: complaints must cite the specific laws allegedly violated and attach supporting materials, incomplete submissions are rejected without notice, and the standard flow forwards the complaint to the reported party rather than suspending immediately.
What a Alibaba Cloud (HiChina) abuse report can cover
- Counterfeit storefronts targeting US and European consumers
- Brand-name domains bundled with Alibaba Cloud hosting
- Typosquatting domains registered in bulk
- Phishing sites impersonating logistics and payment brands
- Trademark-infringing lookalike domains
How to file a Alibaba Cloud (HiChina) abuse report
- 1
Confirm HiChina is the registrar
Check RDAP for Alibaba Cloud Computing Ltd. d/b/a HiChina. If Alibaba Cloud also hosts the site, one Reporting Center complaint can address both.
- 2
File in the Alibaba Cloud Reporting Center
Open report.alibabacloud.com, choose Infringement Reporting for trademark or copyright (Illegal Information Reporting for other abuse), and complete the form with the laws violated and proof. Incomplete reports are rejected without notification.
- 3
Track the case and respond to the registrant
Alibaba Cloud forwards accepted reports to the reported party within 5 business days and relays any reply. Log in to the Reporting Center to check progress and answer promptly.

Use UDRP or URS where the domain itself infringes
HiChina is ICANN-accredited and honors UDRP and URS outcomes. For gTLD domains that themselves infringe a mark, arbitration is often faster than the forwarding process.
When a Alibaba Cloud (HiChina) abuse report is not enough
Registrar complaints work for phishing, malware, and clear policy violations. They do not transfer a domain to you, and they often bounce trademark-only disputes. For a brand-name domain you want to own, file a UDRP (or URS for a faster suspension) — the domain squatting playbook covers that choice. If Alibaba Cloud (HiChina) only registered the name and someone else hosts the site, send a second report through the hosting takedown guides.

Frequently asked questions
How do I report abuse to Alibaba Cloud or HiChina?
Use the Reporting Center at https://report.alibabacloud.com/#/reportCenter/home and choose Infringement Reporting for trademark or copyright, or Illegal Information Reporting for other abuse. For illegal or harmful content you can also email domainabuse@service.aliyun.com. Include the laws violated and supporting proof; accepted reports are forwarded to the registrant within 5 business days.
Why was my report rejected without a response?
Alibaba Cloud states that reports lacking valid proof of infringement, the specific laws allegedly violated, or relevant supporting materials are rejected without notification. Resubmit with complete documentation.
Does Alibaba Cloud suspend the domain immediately?
Not by default. The standard process forwards the complaint to the reported party and relays their response; if the product or service is suspended during investigation, the case is closed.
