What is .كوم?
ICANN's records put the delegation of .كوم on July 28, 2015. Like most of the newer endings, it was applied for in the 2012 New gTLD Program round and its registry agreement was signed on January 15, 2015.
In the DNS, .كوم is stored as the ASCII string xn--fhbei (its "A-label"). Browsers and apps that support IDNs show the native script instead.
VeriSign Sarl also runs 10 other TLDs, including .कॉम, .点看, .คอม, .קום and .नेट.
Under the hood, the root zone points to 4 name servers for .كوم, every one of them reachable over IPv6. The delegation is DNSSEC-signed, so resolvers can verify that answers for .كوم haven't been tampered with on the way. Registration data is published over RDAP and WHOIS (the WHOIS server is whois.nic.xn--fhbei).
