Questions before you register or transfer a .BM?
Understand .BM eligibility, required holder information, registry review, DNS, renewals, transfer preparation, bulk search, and reseller workflows before continuing.
What is a .BM domain?
.BM is Bermuda’s country-code top-level domain. It helps eligible businesses, organizations, charities, residents, and local services establish a clear Bermuda-focused online identity.
Who can register a .BM domain?
.BM registration is restricted. Eligible applicants generally need a Bermuda address and may include Bermuda-incorporated companies or organizations, registered charities, and permanent Bermuda residents.
What information may be required?
Prepare accurate registrant, administrative, technical, address, telephone, and email information. Company, charity, residency, name-authorization, or representative documents may also be requested during review.
Can the registry review a .BM application?
Yes. A .BM application may be reviewed to confirm eligibility, holder information, the applicant’s connection to Bermuda, and whether the proposed name complies with registry requirements.
How do I check a .BM domain name?
Enter the name you want before .BM and use the domain search to check current availability. Availability does not replace the registry’s eligibility and approval review.
Can I use DNS, SSL, and email with .BM?
Yes. An active .BM domain can use nameservers, DNS records, SSL certificates, website hosting, redirects, subdomains, and business email when the services are configured correctly.
How should I manage .BM renewal?
Renew the domain before its expiration date and keep the holder information accurate. Late payment, outdated contact details, or loss of eligibility may affect the domain’s status.
What should I prepare before transferring a .BM?
Confirm the current domain status, registrant eligibility, authorization, and required supporting documents. Then review the NiceNIC transfer page or contact support for the applicable .BM procedure.
Can agencies and resellers manage .BM domains?
Yes. Organizations can use the bulk domain section to compare multiple names. NiceNIC reseller accounts and API v2 can support portfolio workflows where .BM registry procedures allow automation.
