.hm domain extension

.hm is the country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Heard Island and McDonald Islands, an Australian external territory in the southern Indian Ocean. The domain is managed by HM Domain Registry, an Australian organization based in Canberra. Registration is open to individuals and organizations worldwide, with no specific residency or eligibility requirements listed. The registry operates its own name servers and WHOIS service. .hm was delegated in July 1997, making it one of the older Australian territory domains. While the islands themselves are uninhabited and rarely visited, the domain sees limited use, mostly by registrants seeking obscure or short domain names.
