    IDN...."waste of money"

    Just bought 2 great Japanese IDN and am needing to set up Japanese affiliate links. All my domains are parked at GoDaddy (dont reply about GD), so GD doesnt support IDN so I will have to go elsewhere to host.

    There seems to be "no" Hosting companies that support IDN.

    Dont you think that all companies should host IDNS if they sell IDNS!?

    Until i find a reliable and cheap hosting company, my IDNs are a waste.

    Any suggestions appreciated.

    Godaddy doesn't even support IDNS - you can't even reg idns with them.

    I don't know which one you used but hundreds of hosts support IDN names - Everyone at the other forums dedicated to this topic have hosted IDNs at a variety of places.

    Dreamhost.com HUGE
    Hostgator.com
    etc etc

    which japanese idn did u buy

    Re: IDN...."waste of money"

    just signed up at Dreamhost.com. found them on the search engine with a promo code for $50 off a year. cost me $70 a year to host unlimited IDNs or anyother domains. Ill try them out. They seem really good so far.

    reassured since you also recommended Dreamhost.
    thank you !
