What is .ga?
A little context on Gabon: the capital is Libreville, the main language is French, the currency is the Central African CFA franc (XAF) and the international dialing code is +241.
Next door on the map, you'll find .cm for Cameroon, .cg for Congo and .gq for Equatorial Guinea.
IANA lists Agence Nationale des Infrastructures Numériques et des Fréquences (ANINF) as the manager of .ga, with an address in Gabon. ccTLD managers set their own policies — who can register, which second-level names exist, pricing to registrars — so those rules differ from country to country.
Under the hood, the root zone points to 3 name servers for .ga, every one of them reachable over IPv6. The delegation is DNSSEC-signed, so resolvers can verify that answers for .ga haven't been tampered with on the way.
