What is .سورية?
IANA delegated .سورية on February 6, 2011, as part of the effort to let people use domain names entirely in their own script.
A little context on Syria: the capital is Damascus, the main language is Arabic, the currency is the Syrian pound (SYP) and the international dialing code is +963.
Next door on the map, you'll find .iq for Iraq, .il for Israel, .jo for Jordan, .lb for Lebanon and .tr for Türkiye.
IANA lists National Authority for Information Technology Services (NAITS) as the manager of .سورية, with an address in Syrian Arab Republic. The registry's website is http://tld.sy. ccTLD managers set their own policies — who can register, which second-level names exist, pricing to registrars — so those rules differ from country to country.
Under the hood, the root zone points to 2 name servers for .سورية, 1 of them reachable over IPv6. There is no DS record for .سورية in the root zone, which means the TLD is not DNSSEC-signed at the top level. Registration data is published over WHOIS (the WHOIS server is whois.tld.sy).
Syria also has another country-code domain in the root zone: .sy.
Same registry, other endings
