French territory ccTLD

Register a .pm domain

.pm belongs to a French archipelago off Newfoundland — and to any EU or Swiss business that wants a sharp two-letter ending. Saint Pierre and Miquelon is an eight-island remnant of French North America, closer to Canada than to Paris yet still on the euro, and its domain is run by AFNIC — the same registry behind .fr. Eligibility stops at the EU/EEA plus Switzerland, so in practice .pm is a European-business ending first and a Saint Pierre and Miquelon ending second.

$22.80/yr Renews at the same price. No tricks. Privacy free

Who picks .pm?

EU/EEA/Swiss companies building a domain hack on "pm" — project management, evening-hours, or time-themed brands
Fishing, shipping, and tourism operators genuinely working out of Saint Pierre and Miquelon
European agencies and developers who already qualify under AFNIC's rules and want a rarer ccTLD than .fr

What it signals

Pros

A crisp two-letter ending that reads instantly as "PM" in a domain hack
Run by AFNIC, the established operator that also runs .fr
Renewal price fixed at purchase, no year-two jump
WHOIS suppressed from public lookup wherever AFNIC's policy permits
SPF/DKIM/DMARC configured on the mailbox as part of setup

Watch-outs

Registration is capped at the EU, EEA, and Switzerland — not open globally
A small registrant pool means limited brand recognition outside Europe
Not priced to undercut discount registrars — the trade is flat, predictable renewals over the lowest sticker price

Registry restrictions

Registration is restricted to individuals residing in, and legal entities headquartered or with a principal place of business in, the European Economic Area or Switzerland (per AFNIC's Naming Charter for French overseas ccTLDs, which opened .pm to this broader EU/EEA/Switzerland base in 2011). This is an eligibility policy, not a proxy-service workaround, so applicants should confirm current standing directly with AFNIC or an accredited registrar before purchase.

Common questions about .pm domains

How much does a .pm domain cost?

A .pm domain is $22.80 per year at Modusdom, and it renews at the same $22.80 every year — no discounted first year that jumps later.

Does a .pm domain renew at the same price?

Yes. Our renewal price equals our first-year price — written into our promises — so your .pm stays $22.80/yr in year 1, year 2, and year 10. Most registrars advertise a cheap first year, then quietly renew higher.

Do I get free WHOIS privacy on a .pm domain?

Yes — free WHOIS privacy is included on every .pm domain, hiding your name, address, email and phone from the public WHOIS record at no extra cost.

Can I transfer an existing .pm domain to Modusdom?

Yes. Transfers are free and add a year to your registration. Unlock the domain at your current registrar, copy the EPP/auth code, and start the transfer — we walk you through it, and your website and email keep working the whole time.

Is a .pm domain right for my business?

A .pm points either to actual operations on Saint Pierre and Miquelon — fishing, shipping, tourism, territorial government — or to a European business that clears AFNIC's residency bar and wanted a tight domain hack ending in "pm": scheduling apps, evening/nightlife brands, project-management tools. It is a strong fit for: EU/EEA/Swiss companies building a domain hack on "pm" — project management, evening-hours, or time-themed brands; Fishing, shipping, and tourism operators genuinely working out of Saint Pierre and Miquelon; European agencies and developers who already qualify under AFNIC's rules and want a rarer ccTLD than .fr.
