Setup domains with åäö in IIS

Question

How can I setup a domain with ÅÄÖ in IIS?

Answer 1

Domain names cannot have accented characters, and are limited to letters and digits. A good example, if you are having any doubts is that you probably cannot name any Russian domain name with Russian letters. This is probably why you are unable to setup such a domain in IIS.

Answer 2

You need to convert the special characters to punycode and add that domain to IIS (or any other webserver you might be using).

Example:

www.enemmän.fi

converted to punycode:

www.xn--enemmn-fua.fi

A punycode converted can be found here:

you'll need first to translate domain name with national characters into one in plain form. then configure your iis to handle such name.
