What is .الاردن?
IANA delegated .الاردن on August 20, 2010, as part of the effort to let people use domain names entirely in their own script.
A little context on Jordan: the capital is Amman, the main language is Arabic, the currency is the Jordanian dinar (JOD) and the international dialing code is +962.
Jordan shares land borders with 5 countries, so the ccTLDs next door are .iq (Iraq), .il (Israel), .ps (Palestine), .sa (Saudi Arabia) and .sy (Syria).
IANA lists Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship (MoDEE) as the manager of .الاردن, with an address in Jordan. The registry's website is https://dns.jo. 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, .الاردن is served by 5 authoritative name servers, every one of them reachable over IPv6. It is also DNSSEC-signed: the root zone carries a DS record for .الاردن, which lets validating resolvers check its answers cryptographically.
Jordan also has another country-code domain in the root zone: .jo.
