BUMP? Anyone find one?

 

[Charley]

There is one I fetched. But it requires your credit card information. No deductions from it, but it is mandatory of you need to acquire domains.

 

[Zalaki]

what about if i use like my visa giftcard that only has $1.27 on it? wouldnt that still work since it acts as a CC

 

[diddie]

if you dont try, you wont know

 

[Billidn]

That still doent mean anything..still an inside thing...
does your neighbour, uncle, grocer, firends, or collegues, know what the hell an IDN is...?if they do then we will talk again

People that aren't domainers probably would think that foreign language urls already exist if you were to take a poll.

My guess is that 99.9% of internet users don't give a hoot about the domain "business" and 99.5% would not know what the letters URL stand for, much less an IDN.

IDNs were not created for the English speaking population, but for those that don't speak English...80% of the world population included. When they catch
wind of using "their" native language domain names, it won't take long for them to become very popular and begin appearing in advertising etc.

uniform resource locator :p

 

[Charley]

I doubt that. Is there an expiration date on the card, also with a 3 digit PIN?

You can search a list of registrars offering this at at-partner.at.

Please read the first post and you'll find the link. I don't know if anyone has registered many free names and where they have done so but I assume most registrars requires a credit card.

The main reason I didnt register them. I have a cc but am skeptical about it on those websites.

I assume most registrars requires a credit card.

 

[champ_rock]

please tell me if there is any site which does not require credit cards ???
