Which hosts support Unicode in International Domain Names?

Question

I recently registered some Chinese character domain names at the .hk registrar. I was hoping to host them at 1and1 but am getting nowhere fast. Their system appears to struggle with the unicode characters and ignores punycode.

I was wondering if anyone has experience of good hosts who support unicode domain names?

Answer 1

Have you tried simply entering the punycode version of the domain names? This is what is actually used when DNS entry is resolved.

Answer 2

Bluehost seems to do what you need.
