when i search for the domain availibility of xn--vcst63h.com on every site tells me that it is free but when i want to buy it in every registar it tells that is taken so if some one would please explain me this becouse i am totaly confused, thanks.

Hi skuki
It is a variant of 英國.com xn--9cs943h.com, therefore it may show as available through whois but the registrars won't let you register it.

Can be frustrating, but when someone registers the traditional form then the simplified version (if they are different) will/is supposed to be blocked at the registrar giving you a variant error.

hope this helps.

thanks tee1 you have been big help!

and one more thing, is it better to use traditional or simplified chinese?

I think most prefer simplified, due to the significantly larger number of speakers, but check google trends to make sure.

also check sales, most Chinese names that sell seem to be Simplified (as least my impression is most are simplified)

you may be a native Chinese speaker and you wouldn't need a translator but this one gives both simplified and traditional if you do.

Traditional for Taiwan and Hong Kong markets, Simplified for the Chinese mainland.
