      Hi,

      recently Internationalised Domain Names (IDN’s) are supported. Can anyone give me any indication if there is any SEO benefit in registrering that type of domain names?

      With Internationalised Domain Names I mean domain names containing "strange characters" like à, é, è, ô, ... . Typical characters used in French, German, Swedish, ...

      It is now possible to register domainnames (ex. www.hörmann.be).

      And I was wondering if anyone sees any SEO substance in having this type of domain names.
