Domain registration with professional infrastructure
About the .JM domain
What is the .JM domain?
Registration has no general restrictive criteria: both individuals and entities from any country in the world can register a .jm domain with no local presence in Jamaica required. Unlike an automated registry, applications are processed manually, so it is recommended to allow up to 30 days for completion. For subdomains such as .com.jm, the name must be between 3 and 63 characters in the Latin alphabet, as internationalized domain names (IDN) are not supported. The registration term is one year, and regulations are strict regarding renewal: late renewal and restoration of the domain after expiration are not allowed.
