.MN Domain Names
What is a .MN domain?
The .MN domain is a ccTLD (country code top level domain), and the Internet country code for Mongolia. Located in Northern Asia, Mongolia lies between China and Russia. According to the July 2008 census, the population was 2,996,081. The languages spoken in Mongolia are Khalkha Mongol, Turkic, and Russian.Mongolia is famous for the conquest of the Eurasian empire under Chinggis Khan in the 13th century. Since that time, they have come under Chinese and Soviet rule. Today, the ex-Communist Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party (MPRP) represent the prime minister and a majority of cabinet members.
Why should I register a .MN domain name?
The .MN domain name presents a great opportunity for companies and private persons, who have economical, political or cultural relations with Mongolia. Local domain names give your company a professional image, which demonstrates proof of your commitment to local customers. By targeting this local market, your company's revenue can be maximized.
Although the .MN domain is extremely popular and gets much use in Mongolia, it is also used in Minnesota, where the state abbreviation is MN.
Safeguarding your personal identity is crucial today. This should be the same for your online identity, as well as that of your trademark. When it comes to business, protecting you assets is critical; that includes everything from your bankroll to your domains. If you fail to register your name in country code TLDs, it is only a matter of time before someone else does. Attempting to procure a domain after it is registered is much more labor-intensive than being the first to obtain it. Ensure that your competitors do not purchase your trademark, and register it yourself.
The draw of ccTLDs also includes registering short domains. Finding this type of domain in more common extensions such as .COM or .NET is a modern day treasure hunt. The possibility of acquiring a domain with a common or short word is much greater in ccTLDs because they are still growing. Domain hacks offer an additional attraction to ccTLDs. Due to their short extensions, it is easy to create domains such as sole.mn, autu.mn, or conde.mn.
Are there any restrictions for registering a .MN?
Registrants of .MN domains must be 18 years of age. Registration for these domains is open to anyone, similar to .COM, .NET, or .ORG.
