.my
Internet country-code top level domain for Malaysia
.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).
Second-level global relaunch
On 20 June 2024, the .my TLD relaunched, now being 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. 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.
Responsibilities
In addition, MYNIC holds the responsibility of developing top level domain policies, and carries out research projects such as:
IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6)

“.my” enters the record as internet country-code top level domain for Malaysia. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Internet, country-code and level can confirm, complicate or overturn.
Why this record matters
“.my” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Internet, country-code and level provides the most credible route into that argument.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q43127. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2024, 2006, 2010 and 2011.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
