Connecting to an IDN domain

You can connect to a domain using its IDN or ASCII-encoded representation.

• Important: If your application is not IDN-compliant, you must use the ASCII-encoded representation of the domain name to access the domain. To view the ASCII-encoded representation, refer to your account details provided in the email sent by your service provider.

Connecting to an IDN domain using IDN representation

Your Web browser must be IDN-compatible to connect to a domain using its IDN representation, otherwise you will be unable to connect to the domain.

In the Address field of the Web browser, type the domain name.

For example:

http://<idn_domain_name.com>/

where <idn_domain_name.com> is the IDN representation of the domain name

Example

To connect to the domain färgbolaget.nu, type:

http://färgbolaget.nu/

Connecting to an IDN domain using ASCII-encoded representation

If your Web browser is not IDN-compatible, you can connect to a domain using its ASCII-encoded representation.

In the Address field of the Web browser, type the ASCII-encoded representation of the domain name.

For example:

http://<ascii_encoded_domain>/

where <ascii_encoded_domain> is the ASCII-encoded representation of the domain name

Example

To connect to the domain färgbolaget.nu using its ASCII-encoded representation xn--frgbolaget-q5a.nu, type:

http://xn--frgbolaget-q5a.nu/
