Domain Names FAQs

What are internationalized domains?

Internationalized domain names are foreign language .COM, .NET, or. INFO domain names that include non-ASCII characters. You can register an internationalized domain name using the native language characters or standard punycode character format. If you enter the language characters, we convert it to punycode and register the punycode version with the registry.

To view characters in an internationalized domain, you must adjust your language settings in your Web browser. If you can't see the characters, you may need to install the foreign language pack.
