Research & Analytics

About the Research Direction

The GDE.ge project is focused on the systematic collection and analysis of data from the .GE domain zone in order to study the structure, dynamics, and development of the Georgian internet.

In addition to the public analytics available on the website, the project conducts in-depth research and prepares specialized data sets for research and educational purposes.

Data Used

• Domain names of the .GE zone
• Domain registration and modification dates
• IP addresses and hosting infrastructure
• HTTP/HTTPS status and redirects
• Technical signatures and CMS detection
• Website screenshots
• Page content and structural data
• Automated thematic classification
• Historical data (collected since October 2025)

Main Research Areas
