Spotlight on the .世界 (dotWorld) new gTLD
HEXONET is pleased to announce that it now offers the new gTLD .世界, meaning the “world” for Chinese, Japanese and Koreans alike. .世界 is the perfect example of an IDN new gTLD or Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs) that represents a domain extension using characters other than the traditional ASCII characters (a through z). IDN new gTLDs are a key component of ICANN's new gTLD program.

These IDNs are now ranked among the top 100 new gTLDs worldwide in terms of domain registrations. (source: ntldstats.com)
