In response to the interest of users to register domains directly under .mx, the authority has announced the release of its registration.
Registration directly under .mx offers important benefits for Internet users related to Mexico, such as registration of shorter names, the possibility of not restricting names to only one kind of organization, and the direct identification with Mexico in Internet, among others, this way allowing users to register domains like www.mycompany.mx.
There launch of .mx is planned in different stages:
- Pre registration Period (May 1 to July 31, 2009):
Only holders of .com.mx, .net.mx, .org.mx, .edu.mx and .gob.mx domains may apply for the corresponding .mx domain name; for example, if you had registered store.com.mx you will be able to register store.mx. To be eligible, all registrants needed to have held a domain name under of the above sub domains before March 1, 2009. If two people request the same domain name the priority will be given to the person who has the registration under .com.mx, .net.mx, .org.mx, .edu.mx or .gob.mx for the longest period.
The applicant must have the .com.mx/.org.mx domain registered with Marcaria.com; otherwise he should transfer the domain to Marcaria.com. In order to proceed with the transfer the applicant should send us the transfer code before the Pre Registration Period ends (July 31, 2009).
