50% Discount For All .my Domain Names
.my DOMAIN REGISTRY (formerly MYNIC) is giving away 50% discount for all .my domain name registration until 4th September 2009!
- .com.my, .net.my, .org.my – RM40, discounted from RM80
- .my (second-level domain) – RM60, discounted from RM120
- .name.my – RM16, discounted from RM32
Customers always ask me why .my domain names are more expensive than the international .com domain names. But now that .my domain prices have dropped, there is not much difference now. You can take advantage of it here!
Any price reduction is good news for us consumers. I suspect .my DOMAIN REGISTRY (formerly MYNIC) may not go back to the high price tag of RM80 any more, even after the promotion period.
After all, it happened before. Years ago, the then MYNIC had a similar promotion to reduce the original price of RM100 to RM80, and then decided to stay put with RM80 after the promotion and never went back to RM100!
It will be good for .my domain prices to drop to level similar to those of the international domain names such as .com. The price reduction makes our .my domain names more competitive in the international market.
Domain name resellers and hosting providers have no option but to follow suit and reduce the prices in accordance to the promotion. After all .my DOMAIN REGISTRY (MYNIC) sent out emails to all .my customers to inform about it!
However, a quick check on a few hosting providers’ web sites show that some of them have not yet updated their published domain prices to the lower prices. I don’t know whether .my DOMAIN REGISTRY (MYNIC) had given them ample time to prepare for the promotion or not.
But as for me, I only received the news on 16th July, just 4 days before the start of promotion period! It would have been better if I could know this earlier to prepare for it.
