About the .MG domain
What is the .MG domain?
Registration is open to both individuals and legal entities, with no local presence in the country required, nor business registration or VAT number. A relevant feature of the process: a .mg domain can only be registered through an accredited registrar, with no possibility of registering directly with NIC.MG. Registration periods range from 1 to 5 years, with typical processing of 24 hours. Naming rules require the name to be unique, not misleading, and consistent with its intended use; NIC.MG can reject a name for political, religious, historical, legal, or cultural reasons, or if it violates DNS technical standards, and maintains a list of reserved or sensitive terms.
