hm-domain Domain

The .hm domain is a country specific top level domain. Its abbreviation is derived from the Heard and McDonald Islands. This ccTLC is administered in Canberra. It was only introduced in July 1997.

Allowed for the domain name is almost everything that is between 3 and 60 characters long. It is important that only alphanumeric characters and no umlauts are used. Alternatively, a domain may consist solely of numbers.
Unlike many other country-specific domains, a registration of the .hm domain does not require a residence or a business establishment. This is also not possible, because the Heard and McDonald Islands are uninhabited. This is ideal, because this way the domain can be registered and used worldwide. Also a local contact is not necessary for registration.

If you want to register such a domain in Europe, you should allow about one week for processing and connection. It is important to know that a transfer is possible at any time. This can also be done without an Authcode. On the other hand, no transfer block can be set for the .hm domain.

A change of ownership is also possible at any time. With these optimal conditions, there is a lot to be said for the registration of a .hm domain with later trading. The administration of the uninhabited Heard and McDonald Islands is therefore quite clever in marketing their country-specific top-level domain. The administrative authority also allows trade with the domain.

There is little information on application and use. Only this much can be said: In 2002, sex.hm achieved a gigantic sales price for a domain sale. The usage of the .hm domain is completely open, but because of the special ending it is often used in the erotic field.

However, it is quite possible that the domain ending will match your own project or company name very well. In this case, there is nothing to prevent a registration, because the domain name is not restricted in terms of application. The domains registered so far do not yet indicate the direction of industry-specific applications. For this reason it is quite possible that the .hm domain will become an insider tip. If only because there are no stumbling blocks in the way of handling the domain.
