 KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 10 (Bernama)--  .my Domain Registry aims to register 500,000 domain names globally by 2016 once it gets the approval from the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) next year to expand abroad.
 
As at December 2011, the sole administrator for web addresses that end with .my in Malaysia, had registered 145,990 local domain names, and as at Sept 6 this year the number had increased 40 per cent to 202,533.
 
Recently appointed Chief Executive Officer Ikmaluddin Ismail said .my Domain Registry will ensure the products and services offered are in tandem with the latest and trusted technologies to increase the number of customers.
 
"We hope this figure will increase with support from resellers and customers. We also wish to get media assistance to promote the Malaysian domain name," he told reporters at a Hari Raya open house.
 
The continuous support of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation as well as MCMC has enabled .my Domain Registry to implement pipeline projects under the 10th Malaysia Plan.
