How to Add IDN Domains Containing International Characters in cPanel (Punycode)

So, you want to add the åäö.se domain to your cPanel. Congrats, it's going to give you a nice error about "using special characters in domain".

  1. What you will need to do is get the Punycode (ACE) version of the domain, it would have an xn-- prefix. You can use an online unicode to punicode converter https://www.punycoder.com/. For åäö.se, for example, the Punycode version is xn--4cab6c.se
  2. You have to just add the "xn--4cab6c.se" code as an addon/parked domain in cPanel.
  3. This will also work when signing up for a hosting account. Just sign up with domain xn--4cab6c.se and your Armenian (.հայ), Greek, Swedish, Cyrillic, whatever characters should work just fine!

Congratulations, now you know how to add special characters to your domain name.
