I've been reviewing several domains that they are ortografic characters (IDN).

And I'm surprised because I saw the IDN taken and the ASCII free.

Is this normal?

What do you think about ASCII domains?

Which have more type-in?

I think it is the best to take both. As the registration fee is not so high for .de, it shouldn't be a problem.

I actually see more traffic on the IDN then on the ASCII domains.

You have to understand, that the german keybord has the ä, ö and the ü on the keybord, and you can simply press the key to get it, thus it is more common in my opinion.

Thanks snicksnack.

Do you develop a ASCII domain, without have the IDN?

[snicksnack]

I also want to develop, but never really did develop. I have a few developed websites, but not as many I as I would like to have. I have some good ccTLDs with decent traffic and they would do nicely when developed, but I don't have the time right now. I was looking into developing a shopping portal and a travel portal using affilate programs and send relevant traffic to it. I will get it done eventually.
