The .hm registry has been publicly selling names globally for 3 years. They have a registrar program as well. The registry.hm people are a decent operation, really. I had a problem with one of my .hm domains, and got on the phone to their office in Australia and left a message with one of their sales people. My problem was resolved within 30 minutes, and they emailed me a rather nice apology and explanation. I was impressed, better service than I get from some ccTLD registries. -- Best regards, William mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
