Already a dominant player in English language-based ecommerce, eNIC has removed a barrier to millions of people who haven't explored the truly global opportunities offered by the Internet. The multilingual name solution, coupled with innovations soon to be announced, puts eNIC customers at the center of an exploding population of newcomers to the electronic marketplace and increases value to those using the dot.cc. DNS stands for Domain Name System and is the process the Internet uses for addressing web pages. Users of some systems, especially older systems, may encounter problems in certain languages when trying to reach multilingual domain names. It is anticipated that these instances will be rare and we are working rapidly to resolve as many such issues as possible.
Multilingual support is dependant upon many factors.
Because the internet is a vast interconnection of computers and networks of varying type, there can still be 'legacy' devices that are not compliant with recent developments, such as multilingual support. Most desktop PCs that have shipped in the last 6-7 years are likely capable. Currently, multilingual domain names cannot be hosted, but rather, are simply forwarded to an existing site. Thus, multilingual domain names act as an entry point, letting users get to your current site using their native language. Soon, however, eNIC and other companies will offer webhosting which will allow users to host the site in the multilingual character set.
