I know that when I bought the Traditional chinese spelling of some .biz IDNs, I also got the Simplified version (eg 維基.biz also gave me 维基.biz)

However, I can only view the Traditional one in my Dynadot account.  And when I go to www.traditional version, it takes me to the Dynadot parking page, whereas when I go to the www.simplified version I get a message telling me no page exists.

Please tell me how I can manage the Simplified versions since I want to create web pages for them.

thanks,
Scott

I am not sure if it is possible to be able to have webpages for both the traditional and simplified versions of a Chinese IDN since both versions are considered IDN variants of each other.  There would need to be a way for web browsers to "link" the traditional version of the domain with the simplified version and as far as I know, there is no way to do that.

I don't think you quie understand what he's getting at.

When you reg a .biz and give it a "Chinese" language tag, the .biz registry gives you both the simplified and traditional versions of the domain, so you get 2 domains for the price of one.

He wants to know how to set NS for the 2nd free name that he got with the one he asked for.

Check out his examples:

xn--3js309f.biz
xn--3jsx02g.biz

Hmm, I think BIZ handles their variants a little differently than most central registries. Most central registries only allow one variant to exist. Which BIZ gives both variants to the registrant.

However, in our system there is currently no way to modify the second variant. So there is no way to set it's name servers.

And what date will you be fixing this problem?

This fix will require some special case code. I have added the request to our feature request list. There is no timeframe to fix it at this time.

Thank you.

To use both variants of the same Dynadot-registered Chinese .biz domain, you need to use the same set of outside name servers for both variants. Any of the options to use Dynadot name servers (parking, redirection, DNS) only provide a nameserver for the first variant listed, breaking the second.

If 偽基百科.biz (regular script) and 伪基百科.biz (simplified), are both variants of the same parody of the Chinese name of Wikipedia, "維基百科", one .biz registration here does indeed grab both names. Point them to an outside DNS (in this example, freedns.afraid.org was tried and works well); they then operate as two independent domains.

They don't even need to resolve to the same country. If the mainland is called "repugnant opposite shore power", you're looking at 偽基百科. 伪基百科 would be greatly insulted...

对于 .com域名来说，汉字的繁体和简体是相同的，也就是说，如果注册了繁体的“維基.com” ，那么对应的简体“维基.com”的是不能注册的。但是，需要注意的是如果两个字，一个繁体，一个简体，那就是不一样的了。这个尤其需要注意
