Now You Can Register Malaysia .MY 2nd Level Domain Name
Filed in: Malaysia, Web Development — March 27th, 2008
MYNIC has officially opening public registration of Malaysia 2nd level domain name (2LD) “.MY” at 25th March 2008. Dot MY domain name is open for personal and corporate in Malaysia. The domain registration fee is RM120 per year (~USD$27.50) via MYNIC domain resellers.
Requirements for “.MY” domain name registration
- Registered company in Malaysia (Form D / 24 / 49)
- OR, Malaysian above 18 year old (Identity card)
Do you need a dot MY domain name?
If you cannot get your desire top level domain name (.com/.net/.org) and you are Malaysian, you have higher chance to get the domain name you want ended with “.MY”.
However, RM120 is expensive for a domain name nowadays. The “.com.my” domain name registration is only RM80 and top level domain name is as low as USD$9 per year.
If your business is based in Malaysia, make sure you secure your “.MY” domain name before registered by others. As far as I tested, many famous names have been taken because MYNIC existing clients have the priority to secure their “.MY” domain name before the public open.
Will I get a .MY domain name too?
Maybe. I plan to get a very short domain name (that’s cool!) for personal use. Also, I will register dot MY domain name when my ideal domain names are taken. Anyway, I will consider twice before registration because the RM120 per year registration fee is much expensive than others.
How about you? Have you get your .MY domain name?

search in MYNIC say “liewcf.my is not available for register” , but does not mean it has been “registered by someone”. Who knows the reason?

Currently i don’t see the needs of having .MY domain name. Malaysians rather visit .COM websites and attracted more to social website such as friendster and Myspace, Or.. porn. I could say only about 10-30% Malaysian know how to surf the net and 2% of them are real bloggers. Maybe 3-4 years later, we will have shoemoney or our own bill gates.

I think it still boils down to content, if the content is good, it does not matter what the domain name is, one thing about the .my domain name is that it is short and easy to remember. I just register 4u.my
