国际化域名（IDN）

• Did the rules for .COM and .NET IDNs change?

  Yes, there are new rules concerning .COM and .NET Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) registrations. These rules were changed on 03/21/2005. Listed below are the rules that were put into place: Verisign, the central registry of .COM and .NET , is taking a more restrictive approach as to what characters are permitted within IDN registrations that contain the ENG and GER language tags. Specifically: Domains registered with the language tag of ENG will only be allowed for registrations that consist of characters a-z , 0-9 , and - . The reason why we are retaining the ENG table is that in the future, we could add characters to the table which would make registrations using them in an IDN. However, in the interim, no new IDNs could be registered with a language tag containing the ENG value. Domains registered with the language tag of GER will only allow for registrations that consist of characters a-z , 0-9 , - , ä , ö , and ü . The ß character will continue to be disallowed however, as is currently the case, following the IDNA RFCs. At this time, existing registrations that are tagged as ENG or GER will remain in the zone and unaffected by this change. No changes in the future are envisioned except as noted in the following. With the exception of characters 0-9 and the dash, domains that commingle Latin and Cyrillic characters for any language tag will no longer be permitted. At this time Verisign will not be making any changes to existing registrations that commingle Latin and Cyrillic characters. However, there may be a need in the future to place any existing registrations on REGISTRY-HOLD, for they may no longer comply to registry specifications.

By default, 10 TLDs are shown. You can add more TLDs to this list by selecting TLDs directly or a predetermined set of 20 TLDs in the Select TLDs section. Didn't see your preferred choices? Use the options below to filter: Search TLDs: Enter the specific TLD you are looking for. (Note: IDN TLDs are currently not searchable.) TLD Bundle: Create or customize a TLD bundle if you haven't already. This allows you to manage multiple TLDs together. TLD Level: Choose between Top Level, 2nd Level, or both. Language: Select the language and choose TLDs from the Select TLDs list. 3, Search for Your Desired Domain Name Enter the domain name you want to register in the search field.

Domain privacy is automatically included for TLDs that allow privacy, unless you have modified your domain default privacy settings. This will be indicated under the "FREE Add-Ons" section. You can choose to upgrade your Website Builder, Email Hosting or Logo Builder to a Pro plan for your domain(s). Click on the "Upgrade" link in each row to explore these options. Click on the "Checkout" button to proceed with the order. The system will guide you through the checkout process to submit your order. You will receive an "Order Finished" email from us when your order has completed processing and your domain is registered! Note： IDNs are represented in punycode, which puts the IDN into the character set A-Z and 0-9, to connect with the domain name system (DNS). Different registries (TLDs) offer varying language support. To check the supported languages for each TLD, visit the IDN search page and scroll down for details. If the language you're using is not supported by the TLD you register, you may encounter a charset error.
