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 several third-level domain names:[3]

  • .ps: open to anyone (not required to be Palestinian) [4]
  • com.ps, net.ps, org.ps: unrestricted[3]
  • edu.ps: Educational Institutions.
  • gov.ps: institutions of the PNA and Government.
  • sch.ps: Palestinian schools

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.[5]
