History
.ge was delegated to Georgian ISP SaNet in 1992. In 2006 Caucasus Online has been formed after merger of 3 companies (including SaNet) and became sponsor of .ge. 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.
.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. It became active with active web sites in 2016.
Starting from January 20, 2016, Georgia register s.გე top-level domains using Georgian Mkhedruli script. At first, the process started for reservation of governmental, commercial TLDs but after 6 months from start date, registration of IDN ccTLDs became available to general public.
