About the .MY domain

What is the .MY domain?

.my is the country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) of Malaysia, registered with IANA on June 8, 1987, and managed by MYNIC Berhad, based in Cyberjaya.

Registration requires the registrant's contact to prove genuine residency in Malaysia. Individuals must provide their Malaysian identity card number (Kad Pengenalan) or, for resident foreigners, prove residency with a valid passport.

Registration of domains such as .com.my, .gov.my, .net.my, .edu.my, and .org.my is activated 24 to 48 hours after receiving the required supporting documentation.
