Online

Why .mw

Malawi's Namespace, for Malawian Organisations

A .mw domain is more than an address โ€” it is a statement of national identity, trust, and local commitment.

๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ผ

National Identity

A .mw address signals to clients, donors, and partners that your organisation is rooted in Malawi and invested in its future.

๐Ÿ”’

Trust & Credibility

The .mw registry is nationally administered. A .mw domain carries the credibility of a recognised, regulated namespace.

๐ŸŒ

Local Search Visibility

Country-code domains reinforce your relevance for audiences searching for Malawian organisations and services.

๐Ÿค

Local, Accredited Support

Register through an accredited Lilongwe-based registrar โ€” no time-zone gaps, no offshore middlemen.

FAQs

Domain Registration Questions

Who can register a .mw domain?

Any individual or organisation with a presence in Malawi can apply. Registrations are handled on a first-come, first-served basis through accredited registrars.

What information does the registry need?

The registrant's details, a technical contact, two nameservers, and a short description of how the domain will be used. We help you assemble all of this.

What happens if a domain expires?

Expired .mw domains are held for a grace period of about 30 days and then deleted from the registry, after which anyone may register them. We remind you well ahead of expiry.

I already own a .mw domain. Can you manage it?

Yes. If your domain is already registered, we can take over its technical administration โ€” DNS, email records, and renewals โ€” under one roof.

Do you offer hosting and email with the domain?

Absolutely. Pair your .mw domain with web and email hosting from our Digital Ecosystems team, and we will build and manage your website too.

How long does registration take?

Once your details and nameservers are ready, we submit the application immediately and keep you updated until the domain is approved and active.
