Verisign announced the launch of its .com transliteration in Hebrew, קום., on July 30. This Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) is designed for the Hebrew-speaking market, Domain Name Wire reports. Verisign previously launched two internationalized .com domains for the Japanese and Korean markets.
The new domain name, which sounds like “com” in Hebrew, is now open for registration by trademark holders. From September 5 to October 1, registrants of .com domains will get a chance to buy the matching קום. domain in the Priority Access Period. That will be followed by a landrush with higher prices and then general availability.
Notably, קום. is Verisign’s first IDN top level domain name in a right-to-left language.
