What is .ps?
A little context on Palestine: the capital is Ramallah, the main language is Arabic, the currency is the Egyptian pound (EGP) and the international dialing code is +970.
Palestine shares land borders with 3 countries, so the ccTLDs next door are .il (Israel), .eg (Egypt) and .jo (Jordan).
IANA lists Ministry of Telecommunications & Information Technology, Government Computer Center as the manager of .ps, with an address in State of Palestine. The registry's website is http://www.pnina.ps. 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.
On the technical side, .ps is served by 6 authoritative name servers, 4 of them reachable over IPv6. There is no DS record for .ps in the root zone, which means the TLD is not DNSSEC-signed at the top level.
Palestine also has another country-code domain in the root zone: .فلسطين (Arabic).
