.MY represents the official domain extension or the internet country code top level domain (ccTLD) of Malaysia. However strict the rules are in buying a .MY domain suffix, it is still a popular choice for companies expanding in Malaysia. The domain extension was assigned in 1987 and the authorized body handling its registry is MYNIC Berhad.
Aside from usage as Malaysia’s two-letter country code, .MY is also used to define other words. Other uses of MY include: my (pronoun), million years (unit of measurement), Burmese (language), miss you, management year (business) and man year (military).
There is no special process needed to register a .MY domain name, no special action is needed on your end.
