Buy .com.my Domain Name

In MYNIC's category definition, .com.my is for commercial organisations and commercial activity; the test is category fit plus document verification. The applicant must be registered in Malaysia: a company incorporated in Malaysia, a business or society registered there, a foreign company registered with the Companies Commission of Malaysia, or another body on MYNIC's eligibility list. Foreign organisations and individuals with no registration in Malaysia cannot apply. An application becomes a registration once the supporting documents have been received and verified.

The evidence depends on the type of registrant. Companies incorporated in Malaysia provide certification issued by the Registrar of Companies (Borang 8, 9, 13 or 83). For a company incorporated outside Malaysia the evidence needed is proof of its registration with the Companies Commission of Malaysia as a foreign company. The registered name on the document and the registrant name you enter when ordering must be an exact match.

.my is the short address taken directly at the second level and makes no category statement. .com.my is MYNIC's commercial category, so the address reports that you are a trading business through its own structure. In practice: choose .my for a short, unrestricted name, and .com.my when the address itself should signal commercial standing. Most companies hold both and redirect one to the other.

Both sit on the commercial side, but their definitions differ. MYNIC describes .com.my as being for commercial organisations and commercial activity, and biz.my as being for commercial organisations plus micro, small and medium enterprises. Network service providers belong in net.my and organisations outside the commercial definition in .org.my. In the Malaysian market the established commercial form is .com.my.

.com.my names can be moved between providers. MYNIC may request supporting documents from registrars and registrants to verify information for the registration, modification or transfer of .MY domain names, so keep your company paperwork ready. Category eligibility continues to apply after the move. The remaining term is preserved, and your site and email keep working as long as you do not change name servers. Start on the domain transfer page.

You can see whether a .com.my name is registered, and the general state of the record, through its WHOIS entry. Because of data protection obligations, registrant contact details are published only in limited form, so a lookup will usually show the status of the name and its registration dates. Run the lookup on the whois search page, and check whether a name is still free with domain search.
