question What type of domain extension is 닷넷

[Ollie3000]

Can anyone explain what type of domain extension this is? It's translating to .net on google but it appears you can actually reg it like this.

This is a IDN (Internationalized Domain Name) TLD.

More information at:

Thanks @anantj - do you know which country this is though or location?

 

[Ollie3000]

It's .net in Korean - Any one know the rules on registrations?

 

[anantj]

Google indicates it is Korean

Also full list of IDN TLDs here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Internet_top-level_domains

As per this link, the TLD on this topic also defines this as Korean (and means .NET)

 

[Eric Lyon]

It's a Verisign TLD (Same operator of .net):
