There are restrictions for the domain name registration and the purpose of use of the domain.
The following are some rules and restriction for domain names:
- Domain names can only use letters, numbers, and hyphens. No other characters are allowed.
- Hyphens cannot be used at the beginning or end of the domain name.
- You can't use a domain name that is already in use.
- You are strongly advised not to register a domain name that might be in breach of another company's trademark.
- CCTLD for Singapore & Malaysia (such as .sg/.com.sg/.my/.com.my) registrant must hold Singapore or Malaysia IC/GST number. Other restrictions may apply for other different ccTLD.
Domain registration is a first-to-file system (first come, first served). Therefore, we recommend that you register a domain first, even if there is no immediate plan to create a website as the domains that you want might be taken.
