.mw is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Malawi. In 2002 the IANA recommended that administration of the ccTLD be transferred to the Malawi Sustainable Development Network Programme from Computer Solutions LTD.[1] The recommendation was implemented.
Prices for .mw domains are US$100 for the first two years, followed by $50 per year thereafter.
Second-level domains
In addition to registrations directly at the second level, it is also possible to register third-level names beneath these names. For the most part, the descriptions of the types of organizations each domain is for are advisory, and are not enforced.
- ac.mw – academic institutions
- co.mw – commercial organisations
- com.mw – an alternative for commercial organisations
- coop.mw – cooperative associations
- edu.mw – degree-granting academic institutions
- gov.mw – restricted to government
