What is .bm TLD

.bm is the country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Bermuda, designated for entities with a local presence. In practice, .bm domains and .bm websites serve as jurisdictional identifiers linking online activity to Bermudian law and audiences. Registrations are generally at the second level, with eligibility criteria focused on residents, incorporated companies, and organizations operating locally. Because the namespace is small relative to global gTLDs, we treat it as a compact corpus for precise market and policy analysis. From our indexing, we observe steady but measured growth and limited churn, reflecting a mature, service-oriented economy. Hosting locations for .bm websites commonly span on-island providers and nearby North American clouds, and nameserver footprints skew toward enterprise-managed setups.

History and key features of .bm TLD

Introduced in the 1990s, the .bm TLD has been administered under Bermudian governmental oversight, with operational processes modernized over time. Historically, registration workflows moved from manual validation to online systems, while eligibility retained a local‑presence emphasis. Key characteristics of .bm domains and .bm websites include second‑level registrations, a relatively small zone size, reserved or protected names, and policies that reference national regulations for compliance and disputes. These features keep the namespace orderly and reduce speculative registrations, yielding stable renewal dynamics compared with many open gTLDs. For researchers, longitudinal measurements across DNS, hosting, and certificate signals reveal sectoral patterns in finance, public services, and tourism without extreme volatility. Analyze longitudinal .bm data with webatla to understand shifts and resilience.

Why and who choose the .bm domain

Organizations most likely to choose the .bm domain are entities with a Bermudian footprint: locally incorporated companies, professional and financial services firms, government bodies, educational institutions, and tourism operators. For these users, .bm domains and .bm websites signal geographic relevance, regulatory alignment, and accountability to local stakeholders. International brands with subsidiaries or regulated activities in Bermuda also adopt .bm to clarify jurisdiction and reinforce trust. Practical considerations include geotargeting in search, language expectations, and documentation requirements for eligibility. From our analytics, adoption patterns skew toward established organizations rather than speculative projects, and churn rates are comparatively low. Security postures vary, but we often see managed DNS and mainstream TLS configurations. Investigate webatla’s .bm datasets to segment adopters and track infrastructure trends.
