Now Available to .BIZ Registrants
STERLING, Va., Jan. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NeuStar, Inc. (NYSE: NSR)
today announced the launch of six internationalized domain names (IDNs) for
the Finnish, Hungarian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Polish, and Portuguese languages
in the .BIZ top-level Internet domain. Organizations around the world that do
business in these languages are now better positioned to grow and gain
competitive advantage.
NeuStar has been a pioneer in globalizing the Internet for non-English
speakers. IDNs in the .BIZ domain enable companies and organizations worldwide
to register domain names in their languages of choice. With the six languages
released today, NeuStar currently offers IDN registrations in a total of 15
languages. .BIZ IDNs have been available in Korean since August 2007; in
Chinese and Japanese since March 2007; in Spanish, Danish, Icelandic,
Norwegian, and Swedish since November 2006; and in German since 2004.
".BIZ continues to set the standard for global top-level domains," said
Richard Tindal, vice president of domain name registry services at NeuStar.
"NeuStar recognizes that the ability for customers to conduct business online
in their chosen language is a key driver of market demand for organizations
globally. With the introduction of these new IDNs, NeuStar has taken the
initiative to meet the demands of the global marketplace and ensure that .BIZ
has a place in every international company's domain portfolio."
NeuStar's IDN offerings in .BIZ protect intellectual property rights and
brand consistency through the bundling of like names. Further, NeuStar's
solution reinforces the company's commitment to adhere to the recommendations
put forth by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN)
and similar organizations worldwide.
All IDN names in .BIZ can be registered in one- to 10-year increments, and
will be available for immediate use on a "first come, first served" basis from
accredited .BIZ registrars. IDNs in .BIZ work in all major Web browsers
including Internet Explorer 7, Firefox and Safari.
The language tables for the new .BIZ IDN languages are located online at
