Below you&#8217;ll find some more information about the extensions which have become available today:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bnamed.net\/en\/extensies\/La%20R%C3%A9union\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>.re<\/strong><\/a>:  The extension for La R\u00e9union, which is an island with a population of  about 800,000 people and is located in the Indian Ocean, east of  Madagascar. Registrations under .re are were only allowed to people  living on La R\u00e9union.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bnamed.net\/en\/extensies\/Mayotte\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>.yt<\/strong><\/a>:  The extension for Mayotte.

Also for this  TLD, registrations were previously not possible. There might turn out to  be some interest in the new TLD once it becomes available, since \u201cPM\u201d  is an abbreviation that can mean a number of things. Modules written in  the programming language Perl use .pm as there file extension. But it\u2019s  also used for \u201cProduct Management\u201d, \u201cPrivate Message\u201d and obviously it  also is used to indicate that a certain hour is in the afternoon.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bnamed.net\/en\/extensies\/Wallis%20and%20Futuna\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>.wf<\/strong><\/a>:  Wallis and Futuna, situated in the South Pacific near Tuvalu, which is  best known for it\u2019s TLD .tv and the fact that it might sink under sea  level due to sea levels rising. Also .wf is new to the market.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bnamed.net\/en\/extensies\/French%20Southern%20and%20Antarctic%20Lands\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>.tf<\/strong><\/a>:  French Southern and Antarctic Lands which actually has no permanent  population next to military personnel, scientific researchers and  support staff.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today the .fr registry didn&#8217;t just relax the rules for .fr registrations, they also released some other extensions which they manage: .re, .yt, .pm, .wf and .tf.
