Local Language Domain Names
Connect with Customers in their Local Language
The Evolution of IDNs
Today, Verisign offers IDNs using localised domain extensions that allow you to have an entire web address (both to the left and right of the dot) in a local language, which creates a fully localised web experience for internet users.
Verisign’s fully localised IDNs are currently available in Japanese and Korean, with more to come.
Why Register an IDN?
If you’re a small business trying to target a local market or a global corporation doing business internationally, an IDN:
Connects you with customers online in their local language
Makes a website address memorable and easier to remember
How Do IDNs Work?
IDNs should be included in your web localisation strategy to reach more local customers. If you have an existing website or you’re developing a new website using local language, then your website address should be localised. Register a partial or fully localised web address using native script to become more relevant to your intended audience.
IDN
(to the left of the dot)
If your current web address is startonline.verisign.net and you do business in France, register it in Latin: votreidée.net
If you’re looking to expand into Russia, get a domain name in Cyrillic: Верисайн.com
IDNs (to the left of the dot) are available in many different languages for .com, .net, .tv, .name and .cc.
Fully Localised IDNs
(to the left and right of the dot)
If your current web address is Verisign.com and you do business in Japan, register it in Katakana: ベリサイン.コム
Or if you current have a .com and want to expand business into the Korean market, get a domain name in Hangul: 배리사인.닷컴
Currently, fully-localized IDNs are available in Japanese (.コム) and Korean (.닷컴 and .닷넷).
