The Basics of IDN

Leave a comment

If you haven’t visited www.WorldSite.ws to watch the IDN video, learn more about IDNs and search for your sites, head over there now! Don’t miss out on this amazing opportunity.

What is an IDN?

Internationalized Domain Names, or IDNs as they are often called, are domain names that include characters used in the local languages that are not written with the twenty-six letters of the basic Latin alphabet. An IDN can contain roman letters or can be comprised of characters from non-roman scripts such as Arabic or Chinese.

What does this mean for me?

Try to think of your favorite website. Now think of how easy it is for you to access that site, using your standard keyboard. Simple, right? The truth is, if you asked anyone outside of the Western world these same questions, you would get far different answers, especially if you asked anyone who communicated in a language that does not include traditional roman characters.

What does this mean for my business?

America is already saturated with internet users, and .com addresses. Until recently, anyone who wanted to access the internet had to type in a website address in roman characters regardless of their location in the world or the language they spoke. Now imagine how your daily routine might be a little more confusing if you had to type in the address to your favorite site in Chinese characters. IDNs are changing this limited way of accessing the internet.

How does GDI come in to play?

  • GDI is the registrar for .ws websites. .ws stands for World Site. While .com is distinctively American, .ws is distinctively global. Nothing sends the message of the opportunity with IDNs quite like the top level domain that means World Site. .ws domains are accessible across the globe.
  • The introduction of IDNs is creating a change and amazing opportunity unlike any seen since the original introduction of the internet. There is a virtual land rush on for these new domain names in foreign characters. Bank of America purchased loans.com for 3 million dollars back in 2000. Imagine what that could sell for in 2011 in Chinese, Thai, Russian and beyond.

Stayed tuned to our posts for more information on this amazing opportunity, set to go live June 28th!
