There is a big revolution going on in industry of domain names. Not long ago ICAAN announced that .xxx domain, which will cater to pornographic websites is approved; also, non-Latin characters can be used to register in domain names; Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the UAE are the first languages that accepted among the non-Latin characters. Recently, we also always heard about the news of Chinese domain names. At last, ICAAN give out the final confirmation to allow using Chinese character in domain names.
This decision will benefit all the Chinese-speaking Internet users and the Internet is about to become more accessible for around 1 billion users in the world. This figure is believed that will be increased more as Chinese learning already is a trend of this world. “Chinese learn pinyin, so they know how to write Chinese using Roman characters — every educated Chinese knows that ‘hulianwang’ for instance means Internet,”said Paul Denlinger, an Internet consultant specializing in the Chinese market. One of the intentions of making this decision is because Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs) found the majority of Internet content is in English almost 60% of users aren’t native English speakers.
