About the .TM domain
What is the .TM domain?
Registration is open to any individual or company in the world, with no residency requirements, local presence, company registration, or VAT number, and no need to prove prior rights to the name. The most notable quirk of .tm is its match with the English abbreviation for "trademark," which has drawn some interest from intellectual property firms and legal services companies, although holding a registered trademark is not required to apply. This combination of full openness and an appealing meaning does not, however, translate into an affordable price: .tm is one of the most expensive standard domains on the market, with registration and renewal fees that can run several times the cost of a .com, which explains why, with fewer than 10,000 domains registered in total, the vast majority of names remain available. Names must be between 3 and 63 characters.
Uses of .TM
Who is the .TM domain for?
These are the most common situations where .TM is the ideal extension.
IP law firms and legal services
The most notable draw: the match with "trademark" attracts this sector, though no registered trademark is required.
Projects linked to Turkmenistan
The most direct use, though a minority compared to international interest in the letters.
Brands seeking exclusivity and low registration volume
With fewer than 10,000 .tm domains registered, name availability is very high.
Projects with a larger domain budget
Given its price, an option reserved for those who especially value the meaning of the letters.
