.hm is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the Heard and McDonald Islands.
There has been limited use of this top-level domain, most of it unrelated in any way to the Heard and McDonald Islands. For instance, my.hm issues firstname.lastname.hm in a manner similar to the .name registry. Orz.hm is a dynamic DNS server while gbr.hm sells subdomains within its .hm domains to sites within Great Britain.
Often, these sites are presented in such a way as to re-purpose .hm to mean "home".
Oddly, the Australian government's official website for Heard Island conservation efforts is heardisland.aq, an Antarctic domain and not part of .hm.
