    About .कॉम domain

    .कॉम is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) operated by Verisign. It was delegated to the root zone in July 2015 as part of ICANN's New gTLD Program. This extension is a Devanagari script transliteration of the popular .com TLD, managed by the same registry. Its primary purpose as a domain product is to offer a script-consistent option for domain names entirely in Devanagari.

    Registration for .कॉम domains is open to the general public worldwide. There are no geographic, organizational, or trademark-based restrictions for most names. However, during its initial launch phase, priority registration rights were offered to existing registrants of matching second-level IDN names under the .com TLD. Today, any individual or entity can register an available .कॉम domain through an accredited registrar.
