Pre Launch of '.my' Second Level Domain Name

17 Sept 2007

Dear Valued Customers,

MYNIC is launching its second level domain name (2LD) service starting with the Priority Entry period from 9am, 1st November 2007 till 5pm, 31st December 2007.

The introduction of second level domain names registration is a result of the joint consultative process done by MYNIC and the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (www.mcmc.gov.my) with the public. We thank you for the many constructive comments and encouraging support you have given throughout this process.

ENJOY PRIORITY ENTRY
ONLY existing third level '.my' domain name registrants will qualify to register the equivalent second level domain name during the Priority Entry period subject to specified terms and conditions. All third level domain names registered up to 5pm, 26th October 2007 and are active at the point of application of second level domain name are eligible for the Priority Entry period.

Please be informed that all .gov.my domain names are reserved and the equivalent second level is not available for registration by non-government entities.

In cases where there are multiple applications for the same second level domain name, priority will be given to the registrant with the earliest registered third level domain name.

All Priority Entry applications are made via our Resellers. Fees for second level domain name will only be charged upon successful registration of the second level domain name and is set by Resellers subject to a maximum cap of RM120. Please look around for the service and payment packages (such as registration, renewal and refund fees) most suitable for you.
