Questions before you register or transfer a .MG?
Short answers for buyers who need to confirm .MG registration rules, contact and name-server requirements, transfer steps, bulk search, and reseller/API support before continuing.
How does NiceNIC .MG account-level pricing work?
.MG pricing can vary by account level and registry handling requirements. Use the price grid on this page for the current NiceNIC .MG registration, renewal, and transfer price available to your account, and contact support if you manage multiple Madagascar-focused domains.
Can anyone register a .MG domain?
.MG is available through accredited registrars. Under the NIC.MG naming charter, the applicant may be a natural or legal person and may reside outside Madagascar. The key practical requirement is to provide complete, accurate administrative and technical contact information and follow the registry naming rules.
What information should I prepare for .MG registration?
Prepare the applicant or organization details, complete administrative and technical contact information, and name-server data. The NIC.MG charter lists two name servers with their respective IP addresses among the information required for a receivable application.
How is .MG activation handled after registration?
.MG registrations are processed through registrars when the name is available and the application information is complete. If registry-required information is missing, NIC.MG may ask the registrar to complete it; unresolved incomplete requests may not remain reserved.
Can I register .CO.MG, .ORG.MG, or other .MG namespaces?
The .MG namespace includes direct .mg names and descriptive extensions such as .COM.MG or .CO.MG for commercial entities, .ORG.MG for organizations, .EDU.MG for education, .GOV.MG for government bodies, .MIL.MG for defense, .PRD.MG for development projects, .NOM.MG for individuals, and .TM.MG for trademarks.
What do I need before transferring a .MG domain?
You generally need an active .MG domain, access to the registrant or administrative e-mail, and the required transfer information from the current registrar. The NIC.MG charter allows registrar changes through the destination registrar, and the old registrar cannot oppose the transfer except where a liability or dispute remains. You can start from the NiceNIC domain transfer page.
How does .MG handle WHOIS and contact visibility?
NIC.MG maintains a WHOIS database that may display name servers, creation and update dates, applicant information, and administrative or technical contact details. Privacy handling depends on registry policy and applicable personal-data rules, so the safest approach is to use accurate, appropriate contact information from the beginning.
Is .MG suitable for bulk registration and brand protection?
Yes, when the names are connected to real Madagascar-focused business, brand, campaign, or client needs. You can use bulk .MG search to check multiple names, then review which names fit your registration purpose and registry requirements.
Can agencies, hosting providers, and resellers offer .MG through NiceNIC?
Yes. NiceNIC supports bulk domain management and reseller API integration. For .MG, resellers should also account for NIC.MG contact, name-server, WHOIS, transfer, and reserved-name rules before offering registrations at scale.
