What is .新加坡?
IANA delegated .新加坡 on February 6, 2011, as part of the effort to let people use domain names entirely in their own script.
A little context on Singapore: the capital is Singapore, languages include English, Malay and Tamil, the currency is the Singapore dollar (SGD) and the international dialing code is +65.
IANA lists Singapore Network Information Centre (SGNIC) Pte Ltd as the manager of .新加坡, with an address in Singapore. The registry's website is http://www.sgnic.sg. 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, .新加坡 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 .新加坡, which lets validating resolvers check its answers cryptographically. Registration data is published over RDAP and WHOIS (the WHOIS server is whois.zh.sgnic.sg).
Singapore also has other country-code domains in the root zone: .sg and .சிங்கப்பூர் (Tamil).
