Overview
- .大拿 is an internationalized generic top-level domain (IDN gTLD) that represents the Simplified Chinese transliteration of .net.
- It was proposed and delegated as part of ICANN's New gTLD Program and is managed by Verisign.
- Purpose: to allow registrants and users to use a non-Latin script for both the second-level domain and the gTLD (IDN.IDN), improving accessibility for Chinese speakers.
History
- The application for .大拿 was submitted by Verisign as part of its program to introduce multiple IDN transliterations of .com and .net.
- Verisign confirmed plans to apply for a set of new gTLDs (14 applications, including 12 IDN transliterations of .com/.net) covering languages such as Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hebrew, Russian and others.
- .大拿 was delegated to the DNS Root Zone on 28 July 2015 and is operated by Verisign as the registry.
- Verisign documented plans to align registration opportunities for existing IDN second-level registrants with the new IDN gTLDs, enabling continuity for many registrants.
Usage and Audience
- Primary audience: existing registrants of internationalized second-level domain names under .net, especially those using Simplified Chinese (the application cites approximately 90,000 Han (Simplified) IDN SLDs in .net at the time).
- Target users: Chinese-language websites, businesses and individuals seeking a native-script TLD equivalent to .net.
- Category: Technology / IDN gTLD (as listed in registry documentation).
Registration Rules
- Registration policies for .大拿 follow closely the existing IDN registration policies used for .net as implemented by Verisign.
- Verisign's Shared Registration System (SRS) supports creation of IDNs containing Unicode non-ASCII scripts, enabling registrations in Simplified Chinese.
- Specific eligibility criteria, character sets, registration periods, and other detailed rules are governed by the registry's policy set aligned with .net (no additional specifics provided in the source material).
SEO and Brand Impact
- The TLD is intended to improve functionality and accessibility for speakers of non-Latin-based languages by allowing both the second-level label and the TLD to be in the preferred script (IDN.IDN).
- As the Simplified Chinese transliteration of .net, .大拿 offers brand localization for Chinese-speaking audiences and can help make domain names more readable and memorable to those users.
- The registry framing positions .大拿 as a direct script-based alternative to the Latin .net for Chinese-language contexts.
