    Country-code top-level domains

    Overview

    .ge is the country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Georgia. Introduced on 2 December 1992, it is intended for entities connected with Georgia and is widely used within the country. An internationalized Georgian-script ccTLD, .გე (encoded as .xn--node), was registered later to support domain names in the Georgian Mkhedruli script and became publicly available in 2016.

    History

    • Delegation: .ge was delegated in 1992 to the Georgian ISP SaNet.
    • Registry and sponsor: Caucasus Online became the sponsor and registry after a 2006 merger that included SaNet.
    • Administrative changes:
      • Registration services were initially provided by the Internet Development Group - Georgia.
      • Caucasus Online later consolidated administrative and registry roles for .ge.
      • Since 16 April 2018, Caucasus Online administers the .GE ccTLD while accredited registrars perform registrar functions.
    • .gov.ge was delegated to LEPL Smart Logic in 2014.
    • IDN ccTLD: The Georgian-script ccTLD .გე (.xn--node) was registered and became active with public registrations in 2016 (open to the public from 20 July 2016).
