.my
.my is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Malaysia. MYNIC is the agency responsible for the domain, and is under the Ministry of Digital and regulated by the Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission (MCMC). MYNIC administers the name space for .my, as well as its subdomains: .com.my, .org.my, .net.my, .biz.my, .coop.my, .edu.my, .gov.my, .mil.my, and .name.my. This involves the registration of domain names as well as the maintenance and operation of a domain name registry (a central database for .my domain names).

On 20 June 2024 the .my TLD will relaunch and will be available for any natural or legal person worldwide, dropping the Malaysian presence requirement. MYNIC partnered with Tucows Registry Services for technical operation of the TLD and Internet Naming Co. for marketing the TLD and its relaunch. For this relaunch the domain lifecycle and registration agreement was updated to align more with generic TLDs. All SLDs will be unaffected by this and thus continue to have a local presence requirement.
