Venezuela currently has no main national/federal website due to its multi-year “political crisis,” which is defined by the existence of two claimants to the presidency: Nicolás Maduro and Juan Guaidó.

The Trump administration immediately recognized Guaidó as the legitimate president, followed by Canada most other Latin American countries. To date, the only countries who continue to support Maduro are Cuba, Nicaragua, and Suriname; Russia, China, and North Korea; and Cambodia, Turkey, and Iran, as illustrated on the linked Infographic.
Maduro also acquired support of the National Assembly's Fifth Legislature. It is notable that Guaidó’s website is a .com, whereas the website of Maduro’s Vice President Delcy Rodriguez (which exists in the absence of one belonging to Maduro) is a .gob.
