.mc is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the Principality of Monaco. Registrations are made directly at the second level and require a company registration in Monaco. Registration for individuals is not allowed. Domains need to have a minimum length of 3 characters and no unicode domains are possible.[1]

History

[edit]

On 28 January 2022 a new domain name charter was published; since then all SLDs are retired and no new registrations are allowed for:[2]

  • .tm.mc
  • .asso.mc
  • .dentiste.mc
  • .consul.mc
  • .experts-comptables.mc
  • .comptables-agrees.mc
  • .architectes.mc
  • .avocat.mc
  • .notaire.mc.

Existing domains in these zones continue to function.

On 1 March 2022 the registry introduced a registrar model and domains can only be registered by registrars since then.[3]
