Now possible to have .my without the .com

Malaysian Web site owners can now choose to end their URL addresses with ".my" only, instead of ".com.my".

It actually costs more to register for the shorter domain name--120 ringgit (US$36.8) per registration, compared to just 80 ringgit (US$24.5) for the .com.my address.

The rationale for the higher charges is that there's a premium to having a shorter domain name. It makes sense. A ".my" is a lot catchier than the clumsy ".com.my", although if I could get a domain name that I like with a simple ".com" only, I would prefer that over a ".my". And it'd be cheaper to register too!
