.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)
DNSSEC (Domain Name Server Security Extensions)
ENUM (Telephone Number Mapping)
Anycast and IDN (Internationalised Domain Names)
Promoting and training activities for the usage of the technologies above
