101 Domains Domain Information Update ".mc" domains.

European domains: Monaco (.mc)

Important: When entering your search string don't write “www” or the Monacan domain type, ie. “mc”. Therefore to search “www.101domains.mc” enter “101domains” and nothing else.

The only letters allowed within a domain name are: a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z - 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9. Spaces are NOT ALLOWED.

Once the domain is registered

All Monacan domain names registered with us are stored on our international server. Domains registered with us are automatically provided with their own under-construction page - this notifies potential registrants that the name has been acquired and is now registered. The under-construction page is offered free of charge and may be used indefinitely.

It is possible for Web and/or Mail forwarding to be provided for Monacan domains.

Domain transfer/release fees are charged are by a majority of registrars, but 101 Domains make no charge to transfer a domain to another Monacan domain name registrar.

Background

Since the year 1998 when the assignment of domain names for the Principality of Monoco area were entrusted by the Government of Monaco, The Direction des Telecommunications de Monaco had been the registry for the ccTLD .mc while also maintaining the database of .mc.

In charge of this registry and safe operations of the Domain name system, also known as 'DNS', is the Councillor for Public Works and Social Affairs. Only public/private organisations or legal commercial entities are accepted for the Monegasque domain names. Those applications sent from single people or informal organisations will not be accepted or given a domain name.

Domain names can represent a company name, an organisation or association, a logo or a trade mark. Rules that apply to the names are as follows:

  1. The minimum amount of characters allowed in the domain name is 3. This is unless there is a justified reason for anything different.
  2. Only the roman alphabet of 'a-z' is authorised.
  3. Numbers '0-9' can be used, as can hyphens.
  4. All other characters are not suitable for a .mc domain name.

Second level domain names that are currently managed by the Direction des Telecommunications de Monaco:

  • .mc - Used for company and organisation names.
  • .tm.mc - Used for registered trade marks registered under .mc.
  • .asso.mc - Used for associations registered under .mc.

It is up to the person applying to make sure that any requested domain name does not harm law concerning trade marks or the code of intellectual property. Any disagreements about the use of a .mc domain name must be dealt between those concerned.
