IDN Punycode??

[PurpleCow]

Hi,

What exactly is IDN Punycode?
Where can i get that info for my domains?
What exactly is the purpose of that information?
Is it safe to share that information with others?

Actually, I have been contacted by Moniker account rep to submit my domains for New York auction consideration and this is one of the information requested.

Thanks much in advance for any help.

Cheers

punycode for your domain begins with xn--
All punycode for IDNs begins with this and no, there are no risks associated with letting them know what it is

I don't understand how you don't know the punycode for your domain but anyways ...
Go to http://mct.verisign-grs.com/conversiontool/index.shtml
Input your domain into the "Input" box without the .com/.net extension, check the "Native Characters" box and hit convert.
The letters and numbers that begin with xn-- are the punycode

Punycode only applies to IDN (internationalized domain names)..
meaning domain names that have foreign characters other than ASCII (english characters/numbers).
this is a ASCII domain name example.com
this is an IDN εξαμπλε.com

Do you have IDNs?..if u dont dont worry about punycode
