8,000th .ge domain registered

Georgia is celebrating this week as its .ge ccTLD has reached 8,000 registrations. While a drop in the bucket compared to more popular extensions, the domain has been growing at a steady rate of 12.5%. Furthermore, it is not a lack of demand, but rather strict registration rules that has hampered adoption.

The sale of .ge names is not allowed. Georgia does not want its domains to be used as investments, as this would drive up their price and make them unaffordable to average Georgian. The current fee for registering a .ge name is 30 GEL ($17.51 USD).
