.co.mu Domain: Mauritius' Commercial Namespace
.co.mu is the commercial space inside .mu, the country code extension of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. The registry is Internet Direct Ltd of Port Louis, which presents itself as MU-NIC, while the registry system and lookup service are operated by Identity Digital as technical provider. Operation of the namespace falls under the law of Mauritius, and the registry states that it has adopted the Council of Country Code Administrators' best practice for policy development.
The registration agreement binds every level together: the policies apply to "all domains and sub-level domains which end in the suffix .mu", so .co.mu has no separate rule book. There is no residency or local-connection requirement. In the IANA record the manager of .mu is Internet Direct Ltd and .mu is a secure (DNSSEC) delegation.
The agreement gives you a licence to use the name for the term rather than ownership of it, and disputes run through the procedure administered by the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center. Registration is term-based, and a lookup shows an explicit expiry date. For a shorter address, look at .mu; for a different signal, .com.mu and .org.mu are open. Check your shortlist on the domain name search page.

Frequently Asked Questions About .co.mu Domains
The questions people actually ask before registering — answered plainly.
-
No. The registration agreement contains no geographic eligibility clause for registrants; what it does require is accurate, current contact data: a legally recognised first and last name, a contact person authorised to bind the entity where the registrant is an organisation, a valid postal address, a working email address and a telephone number with country code.
-
The risk here is above average. The agreement does not treat a grace period as a right: it may be offered, is not guaranteed and can be withdrawn without notice. It also describes a Direct Transfer procedure — if an expired name is not renewed, the registry may, rather than delete it, renew and transfer it to itself or a third party, and a failure to object counts as consent. Redemption is discretionary and chargeable. Putting the renewal date in a calendar genuinely matters in this namespace.
-
Only a search will tell you. Sources quote different minimum lengths for this namespace; the registry's rules decide which applies, and some very short names may be reserved or priced differently by the registry. If you are aiming for a very short name, try it on the search page; the length range is shown in the table on this page and the conditions shown at checkout apply.
-
The registration agreement and the acceptable use policy make the .mu dispute resolution policy binding, together with its Rules and the WIPO Supplemental Rules; the procedure is administered by the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center, and the registry may approve additional providers from time to time. Operation of the namespace is also governed by the law of Mauritius. In trademark-based complaints, the answer usually rests on showing genuine and consistent use of the name.
-
The organisation name is published and the personal fields are masked. In records, the registrant organisation appears openly while the name, street, city, postcode, telephone and email fields came back redacted; country and state remained visible. Access to the withheld data can be requested through the technical provider's layered-access form by showing a legitimate interest. You can inspect a record on the whois search page.
-
The rules, the registry, the governing law and the dispute procedure are the same, because the agreement binds every sub-level together. The difference is only the label: both serve a commercial identity, and the search page shows whether your name is free under .co.mu or under .com.mu.
