.ps is the Internet country code top-level domain ccTLD officially assigned to the State of Palestine.[1] It is administered by the Palestinian National Internet Naming Authority.[2]

Registrations are processed by certified registrars.

The Internationalized country code top-level domain for the State of Palestine is .فلسطين, which is represented as .xn--ygbi2ammx in Punycode.[2]

On 06 February, 2013 the ISO 3166-1 code for the State of Palestine changed to reflect the PS used for the ccTLD.

Second level domains

Registrations can be made at the second-level as well as at seven third-level domain names:[3]

  • .ps: Any Palestinian Commercial or Personal Entity.
  • com.ps: Commercial Entities.
  • net.ps: ISP's and Network Companies.
  • org.ps: NGO's and Nonprofit organizations.
  • edu.ps: Educational Institutions.
  • gov.ps: institutions of the PNA and Government.
  • plo.ps: institutions of the PLO.
  • sec.ps: for security organizations of Palestine.

Domain hacks

It has also been used in domain hacks, for example meetu.ps for meetups on the website Meetup, and by the University of Maryland as ter.ps.[4]
