.ms is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Montserrat, a British Overseas Territory.[1]
Usage
- Microsoft uses this as an abbreviation for projects such as ch9.ms or 1drv.ms for its OneDrive. In particular, aka.ms is used extensively as a URL shortener for Microsoft's web sites, such as http://aka.ms/MFAsetup.
- Websites based in, or having to do with, the U.S. state of Mississippi also use the .ms domain[2] as MS is the official United States Postal Service abbreviation for the state.
- Some companies based in the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso do Sul (officially abbreviated as MS) use the .ms TLD
- Some companies and organisations in the German town Münster in Westphalia use the TLD as well since MS is the official vehicle license plate code for the city.
- The New York Times uses .ms as a top level domain name for permalinks referring to New York Times addresses. For example, http://nyti.ms/ reaches The New York Times homepage.
- The Hillary Clinton 2016 presidential campaign used the domain name "HRC.ms" as a URL shortener.
- The family of F1 driver Michael Schumacher used the domain name keepfighting.ms for his foundation, established after his skiing accident in Méribel on December 29, 2013
