.im is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the Isle of Man. It is administered by the Government of the Isle of Man.
On July 1st, 2006, .im registration was made available to anyone in the world, including one, two, and three letter domains directly under .im. This now opens up the possibility of .im domain hacks.
Currently, domain registrations cost £40.00 for "Standard Domains", £495.00 for "Premium domains with two character names", and £995.00 for "Premium domains with one character names".
