How do I register an Internationalized Domain Name (IDN)?

IDNs allow native speakers of non-Latin based scripts to access the Internet in their own language. To register an Internationalized domain name (IDN), please follow these steps:

1, Go to our IDN Search page to search for available IDNs

2, Select Your Desired Top-Level Domain (TLD)

The Selected TLDs section displays the TLDs you have already chosen. 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. Click Search button and domains with your selected TLDs will display in the "Results" section. You can also use Bulk IDN Search to search for multiple IDNs at once.
  • The available domains will have a checkbox before them. Select the desired domain(s) and add them to your cart. The added items will appear briefly in the top right corner of the page.

4, Checkout

  • Click on the shopping cart icon and then "View Cart" to review your selected domain names.
  • 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.
