Disadvantages of Turkish Domains
If your blog has a global reach, some visitors may not have the characters used in your site's name. This will make it difficult for them to access your site.
To obtain a domain name with Turkish characters, you first need to convert the name you wish to register into a system-compatible format using an IDN converter. For instance, the ASCII equivalent of the domain name satış.com is xn--sat-lua4u.com. As this can sometimes lead to undesirable situations, when acquiring a domain with Turkish characters, you should consider the future of your site and the languages in which you plan to publish content.
