In a recent proposal brought forward by NIC(Malta) back in June the country domain for Malta will become much shorter… And simpler! The proposal aims to make registration for a .mt domain possible, as opposed to the currently standard and longer .com.mt which we have become accustomed to.
Why, you ask? There are four main advantages:
Should the NIC (Malta) proposal go through, you can buy a simpler yourwebsite.mt domain. However, the ‘old’ .com.mt will still remain operational. In addition, if you already own a .com.mt domain, you form part of a Preferential Registration Period. This basically means that if you own yourwebsite.com.mt, the corresponding yourwebsite.mt will be only available to you.
This period will run for 3 years. During these 3 years, it is being proposed that anyone owning a .com.mt domain can use the corresponding .mt domain for free. After this period however, you can either pay to renew the .mt domain, or release it for others to use.
