.ms is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Montserrat, a British Overseas Territory.

Usage

Microsoft has used this as an abbreviation with projects such as ch9.ms or sdrv.ms. Web sites based in, or having to do with, the U.S. State of Mississippi also use the .ms domain as MS is the official United States Postal Service abbreviation for the state. MySpace automatically changes links with the domain www.lnk.ms. Some companies and organisations in the German town Münster in Westphalia use the TLD as well since MS is the official vehicle licence plate code for the city.
