Check a name

One command, straight against the registry — no account, no page to load.

Fills the command and the registrar links below in with your own name. The page is static — nothing is looked up here, and nothing you type leaves the browser.

ds mybrand --tld xn--mxtq1m

Add --where for the registrars and the registry's rules, --registry for the server that answered, or --all-info for everything at once.

What it costs

No registrar in the price table bundled with ds quotes .政府, so the CLI prints no figure beside it — one of 927 such TLDs. That is a gap in the table as often as it is a TLD nobody sells. See Prices for supplying your own table with --pricing-file.

Who can register

No eligibility rule is on file for .政府, which is not the same as a promise that it is open: the list is hand-maintained and covers the restricted TLDs a registrar is likely to offer you. Check the registry's own page before counting on a name. 81 TLDs do carry a rule — see Who can register.

How ds answers for it

RDAP first, WHOIS second — the same order for every TLD. .政府 has an RDAP service and no WHOIS entry, so every answer is authoritative RDAP.

RDAP
https://rdap.twnic.tw/rdapFrom IANA's bootstrap, refreshed when this page was built. The lookup is https://rdap.twnic.tw/rdap/domain/mybrand.xn--mxtq1m — a 404 means the name is free.

ds mybrand --tld xn--mxtq1m --registry prints whichever of these answered. If a bundled WHOIS host has gone stale, IANA is asked who serves .政府 today. See Accuracy notes.

The registry

From IANA's delegation record for .政府. .政府 is a generic TLD.

What it is

Derived from the root zone and ICANN's registry list — each one is a fact with a source.

  • generic IANA Root Zone Database types it "generic"
  • idn the label is punycode — an internationalised TLD; unicode is how it reads
  • new-gtld ICANN delegated it on or after 2013-10-23, when the 2013 round opened — see delegated

What it is for

Our reading, not a fact — nothing in the root zone says what a TLD means. Hand-maintained in tld-categories.json.

  • Government & Politics The public sector, the armed forces, and elections.

In the root zone

The delegation itself, read out of the root zone — serial 2026090900, on 2026-09-09. The registry section above is IANA's record of what .政府 was delegated to; this is what the root actually answers with when a resolver asks it where .政府 lives.

Delegated to
  • a.nic.xn--mxtq1m202.169.175.1302001:c08:175:128::175:128

  • d.nic.xn--mxtq1m60.199.165.1852001:4541:9010:7::185
The 4 name servers the root hands out for .政府, with the glue addresses that come with them — every one of them answers over IPv6. None of this is what ds queries: these servers know which names exist, not who registered them.

Each one is a fingerprint of .政府's own signing key, published by the root and signed with the root's key — which is how a resolver that trusts only one key can prove an answer under .政府 came from its registry and was not tampered with in transit. It says nothing about who owns a name or whether one is free.

Ask the root yourself — no registry involved, and the same records this section was built from: dig +norec @a.root-servers.net xn--mxtq1m. NS and dig +norec @a.root-servers.net xn--mxtq1m. DS.
