What is .कॉम?
ICANN's records put the delegation of .कॉम on July 28, 2015. Like most of the newer endings, it was applied for in the 2012 New gTLD Program round and its registry agreement was signed on January 15, 2015.
In the DNS, .कॉम is stored as the ASCII string xn--11b4c3d (its "A-label"). Browsers and apps that support IDNs show the native script instead.
VeriSign Sarl also runs 10 other TLDs, including .点看, .คอม, .קום, .नेट and .كوم.
Under the hood, the root zone points to 4 name servers for .कॉम, every one of them reachable over IPv6. The delegation is DNSSEC-signed, so resolvers can verify that answers for .कॉम haven't been tampered with on the way. Registration data is published over RDAP and WHOIS (the WHOIS server is whois.nic.xn--11b4c3d).
