.ms is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Montserrat, a British Overseas Territory. [1] Microsoft has used this as an abbreviation with projects such as popfly.ms.[2] Web sites based in, or having to do with, the U.S. State of Mississippi also use the .ms domain[3] as MS is the official United States Postal Service abbreviation for the state. MySpace automatically changes links with the domain www.lnk.ms. Some companies and organisations in the german town Münster in Westphalia use the TLD as well.
