.mq registration
.mq is Martinique’s country-code domain extension. It is suited to businesses, organizations, services, and projects that want a clear connection to Martinique. Names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, and the requested label must contain between 4 and 63 characters. Registration follows a straightforward process without a special extension-specific application procedure. Search for an available name, provide the contact information needed for the order, and submit the request through host.yt. Availability matters until the registry completes the allocation, so an unchecked or pending name is not reserved. Transferring an existing .mq domain uses a contact-change process. Ask your current registrar to replace the domain contacts with the details supplied by host.yt while the transfer is being processed. If you manage the domain directly through the registry, you can make the same change yourself. A transfer does not change the domain’s expiration date. For a change of registrant, contact host.yt before submitting the request so the appropriate holder-change procedure can be confirmed. Once active, the domain can be managed through standard operations such as contact and DNS updates, renewal, restoration, forwarding, and DNSSEC record changes, depending on the services enabled for the name.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .mq extension stand for?
mq is the country-code top-level domain associated with Martinique. It gives a web address a clear connection to the island, making it useful for local businesses, cultural initiatives, tourism services, public-interest projects, and organizations that want Martinique to be immediately visible in their domain name.
Who can register a .mq domain?
Individuals, businesses, and organizations can request an available .mq domain. The registry uses a first-come, first-served allocation model, so registration does not involve a competitive application process. The chosen label must contain between 4 and 63 characters and remain available when the request is submitted.
Are documents or special requirements needed to register .mq?
No special supporting documents or extension-specific application procedure are required for a standard .mq registration. Choose an available label containing 4 to 63 characters, provide the contact information needed for the order, and submit it through host.yt. Allocation is completed on a first-come, first-served basis.
Is .mq a good choice, and what projects suit it?
mq is a practical choice when a project has a meaningful connection to Martinique. It suits local companies, community groups, tourism providers, cultural projects, regional publications, and services aimed at people on the island. Its value comes from geographic relevance rather than broad global recognition.
When does .mq make more sense than .com?
Choose .mq when signaling a Martinique connection is more important than immediate worldwide familiarity. It offers stronger geographic meaning for local audiences and island-focused services. Choose .com for a broadly international brand, since it is more widely recognized but does not communicate a specific connection to Martinique.
How quickly is .mq registered, and how long does it last?
Registration begins after host.yt submits an available, valid name to the registry. Processing time can vary, so activation is confirmed when the registry completes the request. The active term is shown in your order; review it at checkout and renew the domain before its expiration date to retain it.
How do I transfer a .mq domain to host.yt?
Start the transfer with host.yt. Your current registrar must replace the domain contacts with the contact details provided by host.yt during processing. If you manage the domain directly at the registry, you can make that change yourself. The transfer does not alter the domain’s existing expiration date.
