Hello All:
Please forgive me for the not 100% technical correct subject line -- I simplified:
PROBLEM: There seems no way to *host* a IDN Domain on a Linux/cPanel server so that the domain name will actually show that name in the web browser window correctly (without converting it to Punycode). Or is there? That is my question. If not, are there other hosting panels that allow that -- or, to rephrase, HOW do I get there?
EXAMPLE:
http://www.ñandú.cl/
This IDN Domain actually shows the two accents in the web browser.
However, if I would host it on a cPanel server, then it will only show:
http://www.xn--and-6ma2c.cl/
I have even seen websites in Asia -- and the same is true for above EXAMPLE, where, when I enter the Asian language .com name in Punycode, then the server actually converts it into native national script (characters) in the browser window. My own cPanel servers only do it reverse, and that is not at all helpful!
Is there a way to do this?
Best,
John
