ICANN participation

PAKNIC.COM, the First ICANN Accredited Domain Registrar in Pakistan, now offers URDU Domain names among other internationla languages. Please visit: http://www.paknic.com/idn/ and select 06 in drop down for Urdu Language. Best Regards.

Another information to share with the readers of this blog who belongs to Asian countries (exclusively for use in Pakistan and India Sub-Continent Region) that we have configured our website home page (last night) to provide facility to type in Urdu Language for the purpose of IDN domain name.

Now if some one type "اروکتب" (translation of Urdu Books) and try to search, the interlinked page will provide the facility to search domain name with .com TLD and if the IDN.com is available, it can be processed for immediate registration.

So please find hereunder URL Link to access to Type, Search and finally register your International Domain Name (IDN) in Urdu Language with .com and .net:

This facility is available at http://www.urduware.com, it is interlinked with http://www.netconfident.net/domain/idn.php?

Its Pakistan's first local language domain name provider.

I propose ICANN to ask their approved Registrars to provide the similar facility on their Domain Registration, Search and Who-Is pages to as an Editor for Urdu type Asian Languages to facilitate IDN International Domain Names.

Best Regards,

Thanks
