The .ge extension is the country-code domain of Georgia, a country in the South Caucasus with a coastline on the Black Sea. Tbilisi is the capital, and Georgian is the official language, written in its own distinctive alphabet. Companies, wine producers, tourism operators and local projects use .ge to show that they are rooted in Georgia. Use the availability form just below this text to see whether your name in .ge is still free.

A short history
Like most national codes, .ge was assigned in the early years of the internet. As in other countries, the zone grew with the country's online activity, first among universities and technical organisations and later among a wider range of businesses. Hotels, wineries, shops, media outlets and public services now use it to present an address that matches their home market. Rules are published by the national registry and may change, so check the current terms when you order.
Who runs it
The .ge zone is administered by a national registry, which keeps the database of names and sets the rules for holders. Registrars sell names to customers and pass the orders to the registry. Because the registry publishes its conditions, these are the reference point for questions about eligibility, contact data and renewal.
Rules in practice
- Holder conditions: requirements for who may hold a .ge name can differ from those of generic zones, so check the current terms before you order.
- Contact details: the holder data must be accurate, and it can be checked when the registry asks.
- Technical rules: the standard DNS rules on length and characters apply, so keep the name short and easy to spell.
- Renewal: names must be renewed on time, so enable auto-renewal and keep the contact address active.
Who uses .ge
- Georgian companies of every size, from family businesses to national brands.
- Wineries, tourism operators and hotels that welcome visitors to Georgia, including the Black Sea resort city of Batumi.
- Schools, cultural centres, festivals and community projects with a Georgian audience.
- Professional services such as consultants, clinics and design studios working with local clients.
Strengths
- The ending signals a clear Georgian base, which helps local customers recognise the business at once.
- Search engines can use the country-code ending as one hint about the audience, so Georgian-language content may match local searches well.
- The two-letter ending is short and easy to fit on signs, menus, packaging and business cards.
Things to keep in mind
- The name Georgia is also used for a well-known US state, so a site should make clear which Georgia it means.
- A .ge name ties the address to one country, so a business with a wider audience may also want a generic ending.
- Visitors from abroad may not recognise the ending at first, so show the full address clearly on printed materials.
- Good short names are often registered already, so prepare alternatives that describe your activity.
Tips before you register
- Check the same name in .com and decide whether you need both addresses.
- Enter the holder details exactly as they appear in your official business records.
- Decide the language of the site, whether Georgian, English or both, and check that the Georgian script displays correctly on different devices.
- Host the site close to your visitors so that pages load quickly.
- Set SPF, DKIM and DMARC records before you send e-mail from the domain.
Frequently asked questions
