About the .MX domain

What is the .MX domain?

The .mx is the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) of Mexico, managed by NIC México (National Autonomous University of Mexico) since 1989. Mexico is the second largest Spanish-speaking country in the world by population (130+ million) and the leader in e-commerce adoption in Latin America. Unlike .ca or .au, .mx requires no presence in Mexico — anyone in the world can register it. This makes it a valuable option both for Mexican companies and for international businesses wanting a recognisable URL for the Mexican market. Registration costs $47.99/year and renewal $48.99/year.

Frequently asked questions about the .MX domain

Can anyone register a .mx?

Yes. Unlike .au or .ca, .mx has no presence or nexus requirements with Mexico. Any person, company or organisation in the world can register a .mx.

Is .mx more expensive than .com.mx?

Yes. The direct .mx ($47.99/year) is significantly more expensive than .com.mx (~$14.99/year). This is because direct .mx is Mexico's 'premium' domain — shorter and with greater semantic value — while .com.mx is the traditional format.

Does .mx improve SEO in Mexico?

Yes. Google uses the ccTLD as a geographical signal: a .mx signals that the site is relevant for searches from Mexico. For businesses active in the Mexican market, .mx can improve positioning in geolocated searches in Mexico.

Do Mexican consumers trust .mx?

Yes. .mx is widely recognised as a Mexican extension and generates local trust among consumers. Especially in e-commerce, the local extension can be a positive conversion factor.

Is .mx worth it for a European company selling in Mexico?

It depends on the volume of the Mexican market. If Mexico represents a significant portion of your online sales or you plan to actively develop the Mexican market, .mx may be justified by increased trust and local SEO. For marginal presence, a .com with Spanish content may suffice.

Can I transfer my .mx domain to miHosting?

Yes. The transfer has no additional cost. You need the authorisation code (Auth Code) from your current registrar. The process takes 5 to 7 business days.
