It is administered by the United States Minor Outlying Islands Registry. Originally, registrants could only register third-level domains or higher, but in April 2002 second-level domains became available. 1997 (MCMXCVII) was a common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

The .um registry site is active as of late December 2006; however, a Google search of .um found only one result—the registry site itself. There is an email address through which information can be requested on the homepage of the registry site, but apparently the registry is only accepting submissions of "interest" at this time, so no registrations in this domain are possible at the present time. The DNS for the .um domain has for some time had a badly configured setup. ns.isi.edu could be used in a Denial-of-service attack as it is recursive (and at the moment ns.isi.edu is the only nameserver that answers authoritatively out of the three specified at the root), venera.isi.edu is down (and has been for at least 5 months as of now), and ns.uu.net is not configured for the .um domain at all. In computer security, a denial-of-service attack (DoS attack) is an attempt to make a computer resource unavailable to its intended users. ...
