The .mw domain extension is Malawi's country code top-level domain (ccTLD). Below, you'll find a straightforward overview of what it is, who it suits, and how Site.eu can help you register or transfer one.
Buy .mw domain – everything you need to know
Whether you're an individual, a business, or an organisation, the .mw extension has some genuinely interesting possibilities. This page covers how registration works, what to expect from the process, and why Site.eu might be a good fit.
Why choose a .mw domain extension?
The most obvious reason to register a .mw domain is a direct connection to Malawi. That said, it's not the only reason. The extension works well as a creative shorthand for words ending in "mw," which makes it worth considering for branding. Startups and tech companies sometimes find short, unusual extensions like this one more memorable than a standard .com.
For those looking to build a presence in African markets, a .mw domain can also lend a locally recognised identity online.

Features of the .mw domain extension
With a .mw domain, you can change DNS records, update the domain holder details, and modify nameservers. These are standard but useful controls that make it easier to manage your setup as things change over time.
Technical specifications and limitations
Domain names under the .mw extension must be between 2 and 63 characters long. A couple of limitations are worth noting: the extension does not support Internationalized Domain Names (IDN), so names must use standard ASCII characters. It also does not offer a domain lock feature, meaning there is no registrar lock to prevent transfers. This is something to keep in mind when thinking about domain security.
