How to Register a Domain Name in Malaysia

To register a domain name in Malaysia you will need to find a licensed registrar.

Registering a domain name in Malaysia will allow you to build a business, nonprofit or personal website related to the country. You will need to find a registrar licensed to sell .MY Malaysian domain names. Although you don't need to actually be in Malaysia when you register your domain name, you will need an internationally accepted credit card such as a Visa or Mastercard. You will also need a company that is registered in Malaysia, as well as a physical office along with a valid address and phone number.

Instructions

1. Find a registrar that can sell .MY domain names. A few you can consider using are 101Domain, Marcaria, and Webhosting.com.my (see references below).

2. Navigate to one of the above sites. Enter the domain name you wish to register into the search box and click "Search." Wait about 30 seconds to find out if it is available. If it is, you can go ahead and pay for it. If it is not, you'll need to search for another name.

3. Use your credit card, Google Checkout or Paypal to pay for your new domain. As of 2010, a Malaysian domain name costs $60 to $85 per year.
