About .ps domains

.PS is a country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) in the DNS root zone. It is designated for Palestinian Territory, Occupied. The IANA root zone lists the registry manager as Ministry of Telecommunications & Information Technology, Government Computer Center. Registration policies (who may register, local presence, pricing) are set by the registry and its accredited registrars — not by IANA.

.ps is the Internet country code top-level domain officially assigned to Palestine. It is administered by the Palestinian National Internet Naming Authority (PNINA). Registrations are processed by certified registrars. The Internationalized country code top-level domain for the State of Palestine is .فلسطين, which is represented as .xn--ygbi2ammx in Punycode.

Who can register .ps domains?

Eligibility is defined by the registry operator and its registrars. Most gTLDs are open to anyone worldwide. Many ccTLDs are also open globally; some require local presence, citizenship, or trademark rights. Always confirm current policy with the registry or your registrar.
