China already has a massive IDN domain supporting Domaining community
I was looking through my logs recently & noticed a few site’s that I just never heard of while upgrading our site.
To my surprise I found this
Eachnic.com
http://www.eachnic.com
http://www.eachnic.com/club/
I found out that Eachnic is a Chinese equivalent of Sedo or Afternic which provides the service of selling domain names in Chinese. I assume that they don’t provice PPC parking services because most of the site’s aren’t pointed to parked pages.
The astonishing thing I found was this 5 year old Chinese domain seller, & buyer portal is actively promoting the sales of Chinese IDN Domains. You can see in the lower right hand corner that those are all Chinese IDN domain names.
They also have tremendously developed forum with close to 25,000 members… That’s even more than than DNForums.com & just about 1,000 members less than NamePros.com. Now with a portal that large in the native language already selling IDN domain names I really wonder why people “doubt” that Chinese, Japanese, Korean, & other nationals will not use native multilingual domain names.
That is not the only site either.
IDN Club www.IDNClub.com which is a Chinese IDN forum that is maintained by one of our forum members IDNer.
Domain Club http://domain.club.tw is a Taiwanese forum with plenty of IDNs.
I just hope people realize IDN Domains is Domaining 2.0
You can find more information about IDN domain names via our forum : IDN Forums the first English forum dedicated to multilingual international domain names.
