Buy your .com.mx domain today

A .com.mx domain is a second-level address under Mexico's country code, so it is a natural fit for businesses, agencies and creators who serve Mexican customers. Retailers, service firms and professionals can use it to show visitors right away that the site targets Mexico.

If you also want the plain .mx address, register it separately and redirect one to the other.

No, you do not need to live in Mexico to register a .com.mx domain. The registry's policies list the requirements for .com.mx as none, and the extension is reserved for any person or company that asks for it.

Only accredited registrars can register, renew and transfer these names, so you register through one. Give real contact details for the registrant and for the administrative, technical and payment contacts.

A .com.mx domain works for a business based outside Mexico that sells to Mexican customers, since the registry sets no requirements for it.

Pair it with Spanish-language content and local pricing, and keep a general domain as your main address if your customers are in several countries.

A .com.mx domain and a .mx domain follow the same registry rules and are open to any person or company, so the difference is structure rather than eligibility. A .mx name is registered directly under Mexico's country code, while a .com.mx name sits one level lower.

Pick the one your customers are more likely to type from memory, and register the other if protecting the brand matters to you.

A .com.mx domain ends in Mexico's country code, and Google reads country-code domains as a strong signal that a site is meant for that country. Google's guidance does not name .com.mx, so treat the extension as one signal among several.

Add local details such as a Mexican address, a phone number, Spanish-language content and prices in pesos to support it. A country-code domain can target only one country, so keep a general domain as your main address if you also sell abroad.

A .com.mx dispute goes through the registry's LDRP, the .MX Dispute Resolution Policy, which works like the UDRP with some differences. Any person or entity whose rights are affected can file, and the rights covered include registered trademarks, service marks and slogans.

WIPO is the authorized provider, and the domain cannot be transferred while a dispute is pending. If your brand matters in Mexico, registering the .com.mx name yourself is simpler than a dispute.

A .com.mx domain that is not renewed is deleted automatically once the registrar is not paid at expiry, and the name then becomes available to anyone else. Restoration carries a fee, and a restored name renews for one year or for the term otherwise allowed.

Track the renewal date and use your registrar's lock. Check the registrant name and contact data in WHOIS once a year, because the registry advises it.
