Multilingual domain support e.g. café.com

Errrrr.

Maybe they changed the rules, but I don't think that's a valid domain name
AT ALL.


So maybe the reason you are having trouble is you are looking for
something that cannot exist...

They did "change the rules" starting in November 2000, with RFCs (3454, 3490, 3491, 3492) finalised in 2003. See http:// www.verisign.com/products-services/naming-and-directory-services/ naming-services/internationalized-domain-names/index.html This page may be of interest too: http://www.imc.org/idna/. Also, have you tried going to www.café.com? It works just fine for me (if you're using an antique browser like IE6 it may not work, though verisign have a free plugin to enable it). http://www.1stdomain.net/ does international registrations (though does not handle .co.uk domains). From a PHP point of view, http://pear.php.net/package/Net_IDNA/ what's needed.
