Native Support for Internationalized Domain Names (IDN)

Currently, our domain purchase platform does not accept domains containing special characters or umlauts (e.g., rügen.de). Users must use an external converter to transform these domains into Punycode before the platform can process them.

Request: Implement native support for Internationalized Domain Names (IDN) so that users can directly enter domains with umlauts or other non-ASCII characters without needing conversion.

Benefits:

  • Improved user experience by removing the need for external conversion tools.

  • Reduced potential errors caused by manual Punycode conversion.

  • Enables global audience support and increases accessibility for non-English domain names.

Example:

  • Input: rügen.de

  • Platform processes the domain natively without requiring Punycode conversion (e.g., xn--rgen-0ra.de).

How Would You Use This in Upmind?
Customers can better buy Domains with special characters e.g. Ä Ö Ü
What problem does this solve for you?
Currently I've build an external converter so our customers can convert them to Punycode rügen.de -> xn--rgen-0ra.de
