.ms Domain Registrations

The .ms domain extension is the official country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Montserrat, a British Overseas Territory in the Caribbean's Leeward Islands. Managed by MNI Networks Ltd., .ms serves the local Montserratian community of businesses and residents while also drawing significant global interest. Outside Montserrat, .ms is widely recognised as the abbreviation for Microsoft — making it a popular and creative choice for developers, tech bloggers, Microsoft-focused communities, and software projects with a connection to the Microsoft ecosystem. Its short, two-letter format also makes it a sleek and memorable option for any brand or project seeking a compact domain. There are no restrictions on who can register a .ms domain.
