Not a valid domain

  • Unknown's avatar

    I have tried adding a new site with an existing domain, that I own, but it keeps saying: Are you sure you mean bär-on-tour.at? This is not a valid domain.
    And I cannot proceed.

    The domain is http://www.bär-on-tour.at

    Thank you for your help!

  • Hi there,

    The issue you’re experiencing is due to the presence of the language-specific character “ä” in your domain. This makes your domain an internationalized domain, which, unfortunately, cannot be connected to a WordPress.com site.

    To resolve this issue, I recommend registering a different domain that doesn’t contain language-specific characters. The good news is that by upgrading to any of our plans, you’ll be able to register a domain for free (for the first year). If you’re starting out, our Premium or Personal plans would be great options for you. These plans come with additional features and benefits that will help you build and manage your website with ease.

    You can search for and register a new domain directly from your WordPress.com dashboard (https://wordpress.com/domains/add/). This will ensure that your domain is fully compatible with our platform.

    If you need any assistance with registering a new domain, upgrading to a plan, or have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to help.
