GoDaddy Launches Internationalized Domain Names

 
Saw this press release just distributed by GoDaddy tonight and thought I would share with all my international visitors.

Register Domains in More Than 100 Native Languages at GoDaddy.com

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– trying to install a high-definition television using instructions printed in a language you neither speak nor read.

Now imagine how much easier it would be to get your message across by communicating in your targets preferred, native language. GoDaddy.com is helping make the Web truly universal with Internationalized Domain Names, or IDNs.

An IDN is a Web address expressed in a native language, and it’s helping to revolutionize the Internet. In the past, it has been difficult to translate western character domain names to other languages because popular scripts, such as Arabic, Chinese or Cyrillic, contain characters that were not previously supported by Web browsers.

GoDaddy.com has made Internationalized Domain Names available in more than 100 native languages for .com and .net domain names. Go Daddy also plans to make Internationalized Domain Names available in select languages for .info later this month.

Registering an Internationalized Domain Name with GoDaddy.com gives consumers the chance to build a complete Web presence in most any language. That’s because many of the GoDaddy.com products including Go Daddy Web-based Email and Web hosting packages support non-Western language-based characters.

GoDaddy.com is committed to making it easier for consumers all over the world to navigate domain names, GoDaddy.com CEO & Founder Bob Parsons said. With Internationalized Domain Names, users can find what they need in theirown language.

GoDaddy.com Email offers virus protection, spam filtering, phishing fraud protection and 256-bit encryption at no additional charge.

GoDaddy.com is the worlds top paid host provider – all its packages feature unparalleled 24×7 Customer Support, world-class data centers and a 99.9 percent uptime guarantee.
