Thanks!
Does it mean that if after I enter this domain into the IE and I am not
redirected to bq--blah.mltbd.com, it is not registered properly? Or there is
some delay before activating domain under mltbd.com (currently more than 3
days)?
I am asking due to interesting real situation:
On 23 Apr I registered domain with RACE encoding bq--aq2d4pbvhe6q.com ("domain"
in bulgarian), which on the RWI appears as "Domain Name: bq--aq2d4pbvhe6q.com,
Encoding type: UTF-8". When entering domain into IE in my native language -
cyrillic, the domain cannot be resolved.
But when entering in native language another domain, registered through other
registrar, I am redirected to bq-anotherblah.mltbd.com (this second domain is
not registered by me).
Using Multilingual Conversion Tool on http://mct.verisign-grs.com everything
seems to be OK.
In other words, when registered domain is displayed on RWI as shown above, does
it mean it is registered properly?
There is more questions about multilingual registrations in my queue, but since
the mail became too long, I'll send them in another e-mail.
