.my
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
.my is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Malaysia. The Malaysia Network Information Centre (MYNIC) is currently the registry and registrar for the domain, in charge of registration, billing, system administration, and policies and operation of the domain. MYNIC was previously a division of MIMOS Berhad, a research and development government corporation, before it was incorporated on May 24, 2006.
Registrations of .my domains are at the third-level under second-level names. Therefore, .my domains are usually structured as exemplified below:
- www.example.edu.my, or
- example-name.net.my
While MYNIC administers the .my top level domain, it only registers third level domain names. As such, MYNIC doesn’t register .my domains names such as:
- www.example.com.my
- example.example2.com.my
- example.my
Exemptions in the third restriction are the official websites of MIMOS (mimos.my) and Jaring (jaring.my) (a former subsidiary of MIMOS).
Second-level domains
- .com.my, for commercial organisations or activities.
- .net.my, for network-related organisations or activities.
- .org.my, for organisations or activities that do not fall under other categories.
- .gov.my, for Malaysian government organisations only.
- .edu.my, for Malaysian educational organisations only.
- .mil.my, for Malaysian military organisations only.
- .name.my, for Malaysian individuals’ personal use only.
The .name.my subdomain is specifically reserved for personal domains of individuals, and registrations in all other subdomains are restricted to companies and organisations.
