Arabic Top-Level Domain Name Registrations Begin

November 15th, 2009 Posted in World by Eric

arabicdomainnameWe’ve reported previously that non-English top-level domain names would soon be available — and today’s the start of registration for .masr [.مصر] domain names. The TLD will represent the country of Egypt, and literally translates to “.Egypt”.

“It is a great moment for us,” said Tarek Kamel, Egypt’s information technology officer at a conference Monday.

The registrations began at approximately 10 PM Greenwich Mean Time, and it is currently unknown how many of the .masr domains have been registered. What we do know, however, is that this opens up new doors for the approximately 300 million Arabic speakers of the world.

    No need to remember the name of any website, Type in the address bar, three buttons twice, which are together, on keyboard in shape or triangle e.g. ggyyhh Ctrl+Enter or ggyyhh.com. Press Ctrl & Enter keys together after [A] shape. Shortcuts can be used from whole keyboard. After this you will see a home page which can be used to surf internet by even persons not knowing English language.
