==== Misspelling ====
The deliberate misspelling of a Domain Name is prohibited whereby an entity deliberately registers a misspelling of a popular Domain Name in order to divert trade or traffic. The BermudaNIC Registry recognizes that a Domain Name that appears to be a prohibited misspelling may not in fact be a prohibited misspelling given the particular circumstances of the case (e.g. where two registrants have very similar company or brand names, or where registrants hold bona fide trade mark, trade name or other rights in such names). The BermudaNIC Registry shall give the Registrant an opportunity to respond to the refusal of the BermudaNIC Registry and provide reasons why the Domain Name is not a prohibited misspelling. The BermudaNIC Registry will consider each case on its own merits without prejudice to any determinations that may be made under the Dispute Policy in relation to the names that have been admitted. A Domain Name may be considered a misspelling if it falls into one or more of the following categories:
* the singular version of a plural name or word;
* the plural version of a singular name or word;
* a name or word with missing letters;
* a name or word with additional letters;
* a name or word with transposed letters;
* a name or word with letters replaced by numbers, or numbers replaced by letters;
* a hyphenated version of a name or word;
* a name or word prefixed by "www";
* any other name or word that the BermudaNIC Registry determines is a deliberate misspelling, having regard to all relevant information.<ref name="rules"></ref>
=== Second-level Domain ===
Once a Registrant has identified the purpose of or the activity that would associated with the use of the registered domain name, they can be limited to the following designations:
*.bm: personal / business use;
*.net.bm: small businesses / professional;
*.com.bm: companies / commercial;
*.org.bm / .net.bm / .edu.bm: organizations / professional bodies / education bodies (the Domain Name ".edu.bm" is reserved for valid local Educational Institutions).
The Domain Name ".gov.bm" is reserved for the Government of Bermuda.<ref name="rules"></ref>
=== Characters ===
No characters other than a combination of the following characters may be included in a Domain Name Registration:
* letters a through z (no accents of any kind will be accepted). Note that Domain Names are not case sensitive. This means there will be no distinction made between upper case letters and lower case letters;
* the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and/or 9; and,
* the hyphen character (although it cannot be used to start or end a Domain Name);
* Domain Names must be not less than three (3) and not greater than sixty-three (63) characters long.<ref name="rules"></ref>
