Initially, .mm name space was managed by a small ISP called DigiServe based in High Wycombe, United Kingdom. This company was part of Eagle Group, which initially assisted MPT in setting up Internet Services in Myanmar. All .mm DNS queries were handled by DigiServe's two name servers acting as root name servers for .mm, ns1.digiserve.com and ns2.digiserve.com respectively. These two servers then delegated the SOA authority of .com.mm, .net.mm, .edu.mm and org.mm TLDs to the two name servers managed by MPT, ns0.mpt.net.mm and ns1.mpt.net.mm, both servers were located in Yangon. In mid-1998, DigiServe setup a website for www.nic.mm for a short period of time, but it was completely unrelated to .mm or Myanmar. The site was running until DigiServe was acquired by OnYx. In the February of 2002, DNS servers of DigiServe were hacked by pro-democracy activists, which resulted in the traffic to all .mm domain names including www.gov.mm being redirected to a website demanding the release of famous student leader Min Ko Naing for a period of three days.

In the beginning of 2005, MPT took the initiative to regain the management control of .mm name space and replaced DigiServe nameservers with their own. Business in Myanmar can register for domain names within the .net.mm and .com.mm zones through Bagan Cybertech or from Myanmar Post & Telecomms directly. .edu.mm, .org.mm, .gov.mm domain names are reserved for official and government use. There is no www.nic.mm or whois service provided.
