• Next TLDs in line are those managed by ICB – .AC, .IO, .SH and .TM

    September 4, 2009

    Instead of introducing just one TLD this time, I thought I would introduce four (4) that are run by the same back-end provider ICB Plc.

    • .AC – The ccTLD of Acension Island, located in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean between Africa and South America.
    • .IO – The ccTLD of Indian Ocent Territory, located south of India
    • .SH – The ccTLD of Saint Helena, located south of Ascension Island
    • .TM – The ccTLD of Turkmenistan, located to the North of Afghanistan and South of Uzbekistan.

    Some basic facts about registering these TLDs:

    • All the above domains listed have no restrictions and can be registered by anyone worldwide.
    • Min. characters 3, max. characters63
    • Transfers can be done, however it would be desired that the respective registries upgrade to an “authorization code” system
    • Registry System is real-time, as are whois- and nameserver updates

    The only TLDs of the above that really stands out is .TM, as anybody interested in registering this TLDs has to register it for 10 years upfront.

    Unfortunately no stats are available for any of the above listed TLDs.
