How do I use an IDN domain name in RapidWeaver?
To publish an internal domain name (IDN) in RapidWeaver, you must use the "ASCII-Compatible Encoding" of the domain. Don't worry, 1) there's a handy tool provided by Verisign to convert International characters into the "ASCII-Compatible Encoding" equivalent 2) when the user types the international characters, they'll see your site as you'd expect (it's internet magic!).
Heads up! You can register International Domains at Chillidog Hosting! Simply specify the "ASCII-Compatible Encoding" generated by Verisign when registering your domain.
Let's say for instance, you'd like to register the Japanese domain, テスト.com. This domain, when converted into the "ASCII-Compatible Encoding" version is xn--zckzah.com. Therefore, in RapidWeaver, simply enter xn--zckzah.com as your "Website Address".
