Pre-Register IDNs for .FR, .RE, .TF, .WF, .PM and .YT
AFNIC - the official registry of .FR, .RE, .TF, .WF, .PM and .YT - will soon be taking registrations for IDNs (Internationalized Domain Name). The availability of IDN domains extends the types of characters that can be used to compose a domain name label to 67 (currently limited to 37 characters). A complete list of all the new characters can be found in our HEXONET's Support WIKI. IDNs will be available for all 6 extensions currently managed by AFNIC.

Deposits will automatically be returned back to your reseller account if any Pre-registrations are not successful or if you delete it prior to the submission to the registry (for Go Live 24 hours prior to the actual launch).
Go Live applications deleted more than 24 hours prior launch are automatically refunded back to your reseller account. Please note, that Go Live deletions are not permitted in the last 24 hours prior launch.
