About the .MU domain
What is the .MU domain?
Registration imposes no geographic restrictions: anyone can register a .mu domain without being a resident of Mauritius, and with no need for a local administrative contact in the country. Legal entities must provide a business or VAT registration number, while individuals can register without that additional documentation. Registration periods range from 1 to 10 years, with typical 24-hour processing and no prior application form needed. A relevant feature: 2 and 3-character domain names are considered "premium" and carry a higher-than-standard price.
