History

.ge was delegated to Georgian Internet service provider SaNet in 1992. In 2006 Caucasus Online has been formed after merger of 3 companies (including SaNet) and became sponsor of .ge. ^[2]

Registration service was initially provided by non-profit organization Internet Development Group - Georgia, but after introduction of Caucasus Online it exclusively consolidated both administrative and registrar roles. .gov.ge was delegated to LEPL Smart Logic in 2014.

Registrar Companies

Since 16 April 2018, according to renewed regulations of Registration and administration of .GE domain, Caucasus Online administrates only the .GE country code top-level domain.

The registrar's functions and duties are exercised by registrars, accredited by Caucasus Online, who will register and manage .GE domain names; the .GE country code top level domain is registered by accredited companies. ^[3]

Zone Statistics

According to official data as of October 2025, over 60,000 ^[4] names are registered in the .GE domain zone. The number of active websites on .GE domains is approximately 30,000. ^[5]

.გე

In 2011, a new top-level domain name was registered for Georgia, intended for domain names in the local language.

The top-level domain is .გე (.xn--node), which are the Georgian letters gani and eni, representing G and E rather than an abbreviation of the nation's native name, Sakartvelo. It became active with active web sites in 2016.

Starting 20 January 2016, Georgia registered .გე top-level domains using Georgian Mkhedruli script.

At first, the process started for reservation of governmental and commercial TLDs but after 6 months from start date, registration of IDN ccTLDs became available to the general public. ^[6]
