Get Localised Internationally

20th May 2010

If you own a .com or a .net Domain we can register it in any language you require, meaning that your customers can find you and truly connect with you whatever language they speak; so whether it’s Arabic or Chinese name characters, your customers will view your Domain name in the language they want.

In order to register an Internationalised Domain Name (IDN), the original name must first be converted into Punycode so that when your Domain name is viewed by customers they'll see if represented in the right language. Some browsers are still in the process of being updated and will still show the Punycode, but this issue will shortly be resolved so now is the time to plan your registrations.
