A .קום domain is an internationalised generic web address written in Hebrew. Its technical DNS form is xn--9dbq2a. It is an active generic IDN managed by VeriSign and is available through registrars that support Hebrew domain names.

Who should use a .קום domain?

A .קום domain may suit:

  • Hebrew-language businesses and professional services
  • Online stores and digital products serving Hebrew readers
  • Publishers, communities, and cultural organisations
  • Startups and local brands building a Hebrew-first identity

What should you check before registering?

Confirm the exact Hebrew spelling, registrar availability, renewal price, supported characters, transfer rules, and reserved names before ordering. Test right-to-left display, email compatibility, analytics, and social sharing. Keep the Unicode form and the technical A-label xn--9dbq2a available for systems that do not display Hebrew IDNs correctly.
