Why IDN Domains?

Supported IDNs

Showcase your Bahraini identity online with a domain in Arabic script. The .البحرين extension connects businesses and individuals directly with local culture, strengthening trust and recognition across the Kingdom. Perfect for government, corporate, and community initiatives that want to highlight their national presence.

Highlight your Emirati brand with .امارات — the official Arabic domain for the United Arab Emirates. Using the local script makes your website instantly recognizable and relatable to Arabic speakers while promoting cultural pride and accessibility across the UAE.

.شبكة is the first Arabic generic Top-Level Domain, meaning “network.” It works just like .com or .net, but is entirely in Arabic, making it easier for native speakers to find and trust. It’s one of the most widely recognized Arabic TLDs, designed to strengthen the presence of Arabic content on the internet.

Internationalized Domain Names
(IDNs) FAQ

What are IDNs?

Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs) are web addresses that use characters from non-Latin scripts, such as Arabic, Chinese, or Cyrillic, instead of just the English alphabet (A–Z).

Yes. IDNs are supported worldwide and work like any other domain name. They are encoded into Punycode behind the scenes so that the global Domain Name System (DNS) can read them.

Most modern browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge) and email services support IDNs. Some older systems may display the Punycode version, but compatibility improves every year.

Simply search for your desired Arabic name using our IDN search tool. If available, you can register it instantly — just like a regular domain. The system will automatically handle the Unicode ↔ Punycode conversion for you.

Punycode is a special encoding system that converts domain names written in non-Latin scripts (like Arabic, Chinese, or Cyrillic) into the ASCII characters that the Domain Name System (DNS) understands. For example, موقع.com becomes xn--4gbrim.com. This ensures your IDN works everywhere on the internet.

Non-Latin scripts are writing systems that don’t use the standard English alphabet. Examples include Arabic (العربية), Chinese (中文), Cyrillic (Русский), and many more. IDNs allow you to register domains directly in these scripts, making the web more inclusive and culturally relevant.

ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is a character encoding standard based on the Latin alphabet. It includes English letters (A–Z), numbers (0–9), and a limited set of symbols. The DNS was originally built to only understand ASCII, which is why Punycode is needed for IDNs.

Unicode is a universal standard for encoding text that supports virtually every writing system in the world, from Latin to Arabic to emojis 😊. Thanks to Unicode, IDNs can display domain names in native scripts while still working reliably online.
