New regulations for the extension of Malaysia

Starting on June 13, 2024, new regulations will come in effect to domain names in .my, Malaysia’s ccTLD. It will no longer be necessary to have local presence to register a .my domain name.

Until now, it was mandatory to have a local company or to use use a trustee provided by Gandi Corporate Services to own .my domain name through Gandi. 

As of June 13, 2024, this requirement will no longer apply. The .my domain names will therefore be open without restriction as part of an early access phase (EAP) preceding the general availability of .my on June 20, 2024.

Please note that these new rules only apply to .my and not the other extensions offered by the registry, such as .com.my, which still require a local presence.

To find out more about these new conditions, rates, and availability of .my domain names that may be of interest to you, please contact your Account Manager or write to us a corporatecontact@gandi.net.
