Allocation of domain names
Allocations are on a strict first-come, first-served basis to qualified applicants. There are no territorial restrictions: applicants need not have any connection to Malkaigan.
.com.mlk is by far the most used of the domains, followed by .org.mlk.
The intended restrictions of .com.mlk, .org.mlk and .net.mlk to companies, organisations and ISPs are purely nominal; in practice, they are open to any and all applicants.
.nic.mlk is used solely by the underlying network infrastructure and registrations are not permitted except by the Network Authority.
.acd.mlk domains are intended for the use of higher education institutions (beyond compulsory education age). Primary and secondary education uses .edu.mlk.
