    About .my domain

    The .my domain is a country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Malaysia, delegated in 1987 and operated by MYNIC Berhad. It was historically restricted but underwent a significant policy change in 2024, relaunching as a globally available extension at the second level. This product is managed in partnership with Tucows Registry Services for technical operations, aligning its lifecycle and policies more closely with generic TLDs.

    Who can register .my domain

    Registration for the second-level .my domain is now open globally to any individual, company, or organization worldwide, with no Malaysian presence requirement. However, all existing subdomains like .com.my, .org.my, and .gov.my continue to have specific eligibility criteria tied to Malaysian entities or specific organizational types. Registrants must ensure their chosen domain name and intended website content comply with Malaysian laws and public norms.

    How to register .my domain

    1. Search for your desired .my domain name through an accredited registrar to check its availability and see pricing for the standard registration term.
    2. Compare offers from different registrars, considering included services like WHOIS privacy, which may be available, and review the registrant agreement that aligns with common gTLD policies.
    3. Complete the checkout process, providing accurate contact details that will be verified, as the registry may monitor for misuse.
    4. After purchase, configure your domain's DNS settings through your registrar's control panel to point to your hosting service and ensure your website content complies with the registry's acceptable use policy.

    Typical uses of .my domain

    The .my extension is widely used within Malaysia by businesses, organizations, and individuals to establish a local digital identity. Following its global relaunch, it is also being adopted by international entities and individuals seeking a short, memorable domain or a connection to the Malaysian market. Common uses include commercial websites, personal blogs, and portfolios, with specific second-level domains like .com.my and .biz.my remaining popular for local commercial ventures.

    Tips for registering .my domain

    • The registry has an Acceptable Use and Abuse Policy, reserving the right to inspect domain names based on complaints or its own initiative for content that is illegal, malicious, or violates Malaysian laws and norms.
    • Domain names must not be scandalous, obscene, offensive, or against Malaysian public values, and the website content should not misrepresent any eligibility criteria.
    • Registrants are responsible for ensuring their domain name does not infringe on third-party rights and is directly related to the lawful content, goods, or services of the resolving website.

    Who can register a .my domain?

    Following its 2024 relaunch, the second-level .my domain (e.g., example.my) is open for registration to anyone globally, with no need to prove a local connection. However, if you wish to register a domain under a subdomain like .com.my or .edu.my, you must meet the specific eligibility criteria for that category, which typically requires a verifiable presence or status within Malaysia.

    Can I transfer a .my domain between registrars?

    Transfers of .my domains between accredited registrars are supported, following a process that typically involves unlocking the domain and obtaining an authorization code from the current registrar. The specific transfer procedure and any applicable fees are governed by the policies of MYNIC and the involved registrars, so it's advisable to confirm the steps with your registrar directly before initiating a transfer.

    What happens if someone complains about my .my domain name's content?

    MYNIC has an Acceptable Use and Abuse Policy and may initiate an inspection of a domain based on a third-party complaint or its own initiative. If the use is found to be in violation of Malaysian laws, public norms, or the policy—such as for phishing, malware, or offensive content—the registry reserves the right to take action, which could include suspending the domain name.

    Are there any reserved names I cannot register?

    Yes, certain names are reserved under Malaysian laws and regulations. This typically includes names that require consent from a State Secretary. Before applying for a domain, you should ensure the name is not in a reserved category and, if necessary, obtain the required official approvals to avoid rejection or future revocation of the registration.

    What is the dispute resolution process for .my domains?

    MYNIC has a Dispute Resolution Policy (MYDRP) to handle conflicts, particularly those involving trademark or intellectual property infringement. Rights holders can file a complaint following the established rules. The process is separate from the global UDRP but serves a similar purpose for the .my namespace, providing a mechanism to challenge bad-faith registrations.
