# Best domain registrars in Malaysia

Malaysia is a case where a low advertised price hides an eligibility rule. Two of the registrars we track sell .my and one of them lists a very cheap first year, but MYNIC restricts .my to Malaysian citizens and to non-Malaysians resident in Malaysia, and .com.my to business or commercial entities, with an SSM certificate accepted as supporting documentation. A registrar taking your money does not mean the registry will let you keep the name: registrants must meet the eligibility criteria and continue to meet them for the life of the registration. Check the renewal column too, because the gap between the first year and the renewal on .my is one of the widest we track.

## ccTLDs

### .my

Malaysia's country code at the second level, for individuals and organisations connected to Malaysia.

- Eligibility: Restricted. MYNIC states .my is for Malaysian citizens and for non-Malaysians residing in Malaysia. Registrants must meet the eligibility criteria for the whole subscription period, not just at purchase.
- Notes: Eligibility is a registry rule, not a registrar rule. Two registrars we track sell .my and we verified their prices, but the MYNIC registrant policy still governs who may hold the name. Buy on the renewal figure rather than the first-year figure.

- Registrars we track that sell it: NameSilo (https://www.best-domain-registrars.com/registrars/namesilo/), Porkbun (https://www.best-domain-registrars.com/registrars/porkbun/)

### .com.my

Commercial third level, the standard identity for a Malaysian company.

- Eligibility: Restricted to business or commercial organisations and SMEs. MYNIC accepts a current Suruhanjaya Syarikat Malaysia (SSM) certificate as supporting documentation; an expired certificate is not accepted.
- Notes: None of the registrars we track sell .com.my, so we hold no verified price for it. It is available through MYNIC's accredited Malaysian channel, which is also where the documentation check happens.

- Registrars we track that sell it: none — we do not track a registrar selling this ccTLD, which is a gap in our coverage, not a judgement on the ccTLD
