Mali is offering its ccTLD .ML to the 20 million Internet users in Malaysia for free.
The aim is to make a global presence and to make .ML represent the Southeast Asian countries with the huge presence that it might have due to the free domain names.
Malayisa has recently prioritized ICT to ensure it contributes 17 percent to its GDP by 2020, up from 11 percent now. The .my domain is its assigned ccTLD. But high registration costs, required paperwork and bureaucratic rules slow down the process for Malaysian individuals and businesses to obtain .my domain names.
Malaysia is offering .ml domain names to Malaysians for free for a 12-month period. Those interested can obtain .ml domain names via the Freenom or Dot ML websites. Dot ML is a privately funded joint venture between AGETIC and Freenom, a Netherlands-based free domain provider. Freenom’s mission is to bring people online and help countries develop their digital economy.
“This will help us grow .ml and will bring free and easily accessible domains to other nations where the demand is high,” Diakite said. “Domains are in unlimited supply and as long as the Internet users find a meaning or a use for them, there are no reasons to limit them to one market only.”
