About the .BOM domain
What is the .BOM domain?
The proposal to create .bom was submitted by NIC.br as part of a package of applications that also included the .rio, .globo, .uol, and .final extensions, reflecting the Brazilian organization's interest in expanding its presence within ICANN's new gTLD program. During the evaluation process, the extension received an objection from Verisign over its alleged visual or phonetic similarity to .com, though the evaluation panels ultimately determined that .bom met the Applicant Guidebook's requirements and could advance in the process. Registration is open to any law-abiding citizen or organization wishing to carry out lawful, non-abusive activities through this domain, with registration periods of 1 to 10 years. Given its positive meaning in Portuguese, it is especially attractive for businesses operating in Brazil or targeting the Portuguese-speaking market.
