Both: IDN & ASCII

Both: IDN & ASCII

One of the reasons why I chose investing in IDN. jp is to have the more likely chance of getting both.
Such a simple concept. Both IDN & ASCII version of a domain.
I tried to inform IDN investors before that this is a great concept.
If a company is willing to buy an IDN imagine if you had both versions?
This doesn’t work for every domain but there are some terms in languages where there would only be one way to write it.

The recent sale on DNJournal for the German domain actually proved this.
Many people are just IDNs or just ASCII domains but it would be good to realize having both would be great.

With IDNs I’m on hold mode at the moment & just giving advance to global clients & ad agency staff worldwide.

For the Japanese markets I only have a few
but domains like

LosAngeles.jp
NewYorkCity.jp
HokenHikaku.jp
Rome.jp

etc make sense in both versions.

    I have zero ascii .jp or .com so I’m out of luck on that tactic…
    However I do have some top Japanese names so hopefully I’ll be safe. ;)
    We need more corporation uptake on IDN.

    I am 99.9% invested in Japanese right now.

    Time to roll some dice….
