Who is the best registrar for IDN’s?

[slaughterbeck]

Which registrar offers the best value when it comes to IDN's?






As a secondary question: Is it possible to register a one or two character IDN?







Thanks,
Kimmy

1) Enom is good (and namecheap) as well as others

2) yes, but they are taken (the very vast majority, even dumb ones like keyboard characters)

domainsite.com and Dynadot.com

I guess I speak for most.

I think most all IDN domainers would recommend DomainSite.Only $6.99 per registration,and you can search for available names in either native characters or "xn--" punycode form.They also appear in both forms in your control panel for easy reference.
You can register one or two character IDN's,but at this point there's generally none left worth registering.You can go to Pool.com and search "xn--" in the deleting names list and occasionally catch a good one,but alot of people are in the hunt and top names are snatched immediately upon dropping.

Enom allows for search in native character sets as well.
also, I get them for 6.95, but I see the point about 6.99 for the masses at domainsite.
However, I did not have the best experience in the past with Domainsite, especially with the .info renewals...

I think Idn's are in the word combining stage right now. Lot of good 1worder.idn are gone. But some still exist. Better find a niche and reg up. Can you say "CatLitter" in japanese?

 

[mick]

Any new experiences so far?

Which one is currently the best, also in regard to easy ownership transfers etc.?

For me, I have to say Domainsite. Good prices, and very easy to use.

Really, Domainsite.com and Dynadot.com, both are very good

I regged my domains with them

IDNebook.com

Check out www.IDNebook.com it will show you a tutorial how & where to Reg IDN's

I would have to suggest domainsite.com as well. I registered three there yesterday, and currently have another few domains registered with them, which have been there for a few months.
There are a few of one letter IDN.coms still available. I have a list of ones I found yesterday, in several different languages, which I may post later, if anyone is interested

I use Dynadot exclusively and have been very happy with them.

There are over 50,000 Chinese characters alone, and by no stretch of the imagination are they all gone. Although a couple of thousand is sufficent for ordinary everyday use. Even those couple of thousand is maybe 33% still open.
Slightly more than the 26 letters we use.

Domainsite is the registrar of choice for the majority of IDN domainers. $6.99 per name but this is just one of the advantages. The interface is excellent and very easy to use. Pushing is a breeze. All round great value and ease of use.

Another vote for Domainsite for great user interface, options, and easy transfers.

One note about one character Chinese domains - they are usually more than one keystroke.

I use domainsite.com

 

[webgear]

I'm using DomainSite and DynaDot .

 

[sufi]

I'm using DomainSite.com for my IDN regs. I think its simply the best registrar for IDNs.

 

[duskdawn]

Domainsite and dynadot for me too.

I reg'ed and have mine with Domainsite, Dynadot, Idotz, and Outstanding.
They are have their advantages and disadvantages.
