.mx

Q: What is .mx used for?

Mexico's country-code TLD, growing alongside Mexico's expanding internet economy. Direct .mx registrations have been available since 2009, complementing the traditional .com.mx.

Q: Who manages the .mx top-level domain?

The .mx TLD is managed by NIC Mexico (ITESM), which is responsible for the registry operations and maintaining the zone file.

Abstract

Since 2009, applicants have been able to register directly under .mx instead of only beneath the older .com.mx. NIC Mexico, hosted at ITESM, operates the registry, which was delegated in 1989 and holds roughly 900,000 domains. No residency condition applies, and registration is open worldwide. Growth has tracked the expansion of Mexico's internet economy, with the shorter direct form increasingly preferred by newer businesses.
