Once the domain is registered

All Turkmenistanian domain names registered with us are stored on our international server. Domains registered with us are automatically provided with their own under-construction page - this notifies potential registrants that the name has been acquired and is now registered. The under-construction page is offered free of charge and may be used indefinitely.

It is possible for Web and/or Mail forwarding to be provided for Turkmenistanian domains.

Domain transfer/release fees are charged are by a majority of registrars, but 101 Domains make no charge to transfer a domain to another Turkmenistanian domain name registrar.

Background

.tm is the Internet country code top-level domain name (ccTLD) for Turkmenistan

Officially known as the Republic of Turkmenistan, and it is found in Central Asia. The country is bordered by Afghanistan to the south-east, Iran to the south and south-west, Uzbekistan to the east and north-east and Kazakhstan to the north and north-west.

Turkmenistan has a total size in area of 488,100km2, making it the 52nd largest country. It has an estimated population of 5,110,000 people, as the 112th most populous country.

The .tm domain name was introduced in 1997, and it is operated by the Internet Computer Bureau (who run NIC.TM), and sponsored by the TM Domain Registry (NetNames).

Though the domain name's intended use is for entities connected with Turkmenistan, applicants are able to register from any legal jurisdiction, especially as a domain for businesses with trademarks, due to .tm being similar to the trademark symbol. However, for entities who are not a resident of Turkmenistan, only domain names in second-level are available for registration.

Registrants who are residents of Turkmenistan are allowed to register for a .tm domain name at third-level under various second-level labels.
