    Hello, I found a great IDN domain, but I have a very newb question: Are they just for .com .net or there can be any .org IDN also?

    And if they are, what are the registrars? Can a normal domain registrar register a IDN domain name?

    Thanks

    You can pretty much register IDNs at any registrar; especially using the punycode.

    Neither of the 2 registrars I use for IDNs (GoDaddy & Dynadot) support IDNs for .us. The doesn't necessarily mean their not supported by the registry though. I would check with the .us registry: http://nic.us

    .US doesn't support IDNs... but I remember reading an article about IDN consideration in the future... but it makes no sense why they would do that.
