What is .pm?
A little context on Saint Pierre and Miquelon: the capital is Saint-Pierre, the main language is French, the currency is the Euro (EUR) and the international dialing code is +508.
IANA lists Association Française pour le Nommage Internet en Coopération (A.F.N.I.C.) as the manager of .pm, with an address in France. The registry's website is http://www.nic.pm. ccTLD managers set their own policies — who can register, which second-level names exist, pricing to registrars — so those rules differ from country to country.
On the technical side, .pm is served by 3 authoritative name servers, every one of them reachable over IPv6. It is also DNSSEC-signed: the root zone carries a DS record for .pm, which lets validating resolvers check its answers cryptographically. Registration data is published over RDAP and WHOIS (the WHOIS server is whois.nic.pm).
