In 2011, two new internationalized country code top-level domains were registered for Singapore, intended for domain names in the local languages. These domains are .æ°å å¡ (encoded as .xn--yfro4i67o) for Chinese websites, and .à®à®¿à®à¯à®à®ªà¯à®ªà¯à®°à¯ (encoded as .xn--clchc0ea0b2g2a9gcd), for Tamil websites.[3]
Restrictions
SGNIC requires that all .sg domains registered after 2 May 2013 have proof of Singaporean presence. This is facilitated by requiring the registrant to login to the Verified@SG portal with their SingPass account.[4]
