.mini domain extension

The .mini top-level domain is a branded generic TLD owned and operated by Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft, commonly known as BMW. The company is based in Munich, Germany. This domain extension was created as a branded space for BMW, primarily intended for use related to the BMW MINI automobile brand. Registration of .mini domains is restricted, managed by BMW, and typically limited to the company and its authorized affiliates. The domain is not open for general public registration. IANA delegated .mini to BMW on June 20, 2014, following the application process for new generic top-level domains. The technical backend for the registry is handled by CentralNic.
