What is .vg?
A little context on British Virgin Islands: the capital is Road Town, the main language is English, the currency is the United States dollar (USD) and the international dialing code is +1284.
IANA lists Telecommunications Regulatory Commission of the Virgin Islands as the manager of .vg, with an address in Virgin Islands (British). The registry's website is http://nic.vg. 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, .vg is served by 4 authoritative name servers, every one of them reachable over IPv6. There is no DS record for .vg in the root zone, which means the TLD is not DNSSEC-signed at the top level. Registration data is published over RDAP and WHOIS (the WHOIS server is whois.nic.vg).
