What is .გე?
IANA delegated .გე on October 24, 2014, as part of the effort to let people use domain names entirely in their own script.
A little context on Georgia: the capital is Tbilisi, the main language is Georgian, the currency is the lari (GEL) and the international dialing code is +995.
Next door on the map, you'll find .am for Armenia, .az for Azerbaijan, .ru for Russia and .tr for Türkiye.
IANA lists Information Technologies Development Center (ITDC) as the manager of .გე, with an address in Georgia. The registry's website is http://xn--lodaehvb5cdik4g.xn--node. 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 2 name servers for .გე, every one of them reachable over IPv6. There is no DS record for .გე in the root zone, which means the TLD is not DNSSEC-signed at the top level.
Georgia also has another country-code domain in the root zone: .ge.
