    About .мкд domain

    .мкд is an internationalized country code top-level domain (IDN ccTLD) delegated to represent North Macedonia in the Cyrillic script. It is operated by the Macedonian Academic Research Network (MARnet), which also manages the ASCII .mk domain. The extension was officially delegated by ICANN in 2014 following an application through the IDN Fast Track process. It provides a script-specific alternative to the Latin .mk domain for the Macedonian online namespace.

    Who can register .мкд domain

    Registration for .мкд domains is open to both legal entities and individuals. There are no specific geographic or citizenship restrictions, meaning anyone worldwide can register a .мкд domain name. The registry does not impose content-based or purpose-based restrictions on registrants.

    How to register .мкд domain

    1. Search for your desired .мкд domain name at a participating ICANN-accredited registrar that offers this extension. Verify the Cyrillic characters are displayed correctly during your search.
    2. Compare pricing, registration term options, and additional services like WHOIS privacy or email forwarding from registrars that list .мкд in their portfolio.
    3. Complete the checkout process, providing accurate registrant contact information as required by ICANN rules and the registrar's terms.
    4. After purchase, configure your domain's DNS settings, such as nameservers, to point to your hosting provider. Ensure your contact email is valid to receive verification and renewal notices.

    Typical uses of .мкд domain

    The .мкд domain is primarily used by individuals, businesses, and organizations with a connection to North Macedonia or the Macedonian language. It offers a way to establish a distinctly Macedonian online identity using the national Cyrillic script. Common users include local companies, cultural institutions, and personal websites aiming to emphasize their Macedonian heritage or linguistic authenticity. It serves as a complementary option to the .mk domain for those prioritizing a native-script web address.
