Mexico's .mx and .com.mx domains are country-specific top-level domains (ccTLDs) designed for businesses and professionals operating in Mexico. Here's what you need to know about these domain extensions:

Registration and Usage

  • Available for both Mexican and international registrants
  • Ideal for businesses targeting Mexican markets
  • Can be registered, transferred, or connected to websites
  • Registration periods vary by registrar

Key Features

  • Country-specific domain extensions
  • Recognized as Mexican business identifiers
  • Subject to Mexican domain registry regulations
  • Different rules than standard TLDs

Expiration and Renewal Policies

  1. Tucows Registrar:

    • 30-day grace period after expiration
    • Must contact Tucows directly for renewal
    • No automatic renewal available
  2. Key-Systems Registrar:

    • Approximately 30-day renewal window
    • Domain must be visible in dashboard for renewal
    • Contact support for potential reactivation if renewal window passed

Important Considerations

  • Pricing varies based on registrar and market conditions
  • Must comply with Mexican registry requirements

To maintain active status, monitor expiration dates and follow registrar-specific renewal procedures. Consider setting up auto-renewal when available to prevent domain loss.
