You no longer have to use domain names with only English characters. You can use domain names in your native language with characters from Turkish (ı,ş,ğ,ü,ö,ç), Chinese (使,用,下,列,语,言), Arabic (هـ,و,ن,م), Russian (Ц,Ч,Ш,Б,Ж), and all other languages.
For example, due to the 'ü' and 'ç' characters in 'türkçe.com', people who wanted to register this domain had to use 'turkce.com' in the past. With IDN conversion, you can purchase 'türkçe.com' by converting it to its IDN equivalent 'xn--trke-2oa7j.com'. The actual representation of the domain you purchased will be 'türkçe.com', and users can enter http://www.türkçe.com/ to access your site.

Common questions about IDN domains and our converter tool
IDN (Internationalized Domain Name) is a domain name that contains non-ASCII characters, such as letters with diacritics, characters from non-Latin scripts (like Arabic, Chinese, or Cyrillic), or other special characters.
Since DNS only understands ASCII characters, IDNs are encoded into a Punycode format that begins with 'xn--' followed by a string of ASCII characters. For example, 'türkçe.com' becomes 'xn--trke-2oa7j.com'. Modern browsers automatically convert between these formats for display and network requests.
Yes, all modern web browsers support IDN domains, including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and Opera. Users can enter domain names in their native language directly in the address bar, and the browser handles the conversion to Punycode automatically.
However, some older browsers or email clients might display the Punycode version (starting with 'xn--') instead of the internationalized characters. But this doesn't affect the functionality of the domain.
Registering an IDN domain is similar to registering a regular domain. Follow these steps:
Once registered, your website and email addresses will work with the internationalized version of the domain.
