About .mw

.mw is the official country-code domain for Malawi, one of the ccTLDs delegated by IANA to a national registry across the African continent. As internet adoption across the region keeps growing, local-extension domains like .mw are increasingly used to signal a genuine Malawi presence to customers, partners, and search engines alike.

Choosing a name for .mw

If you're registering .mw for a business or organization actually based in Malawi, keep the name closely aligned with your registered brand or trading name — that's the strongest use case for a ccTLD. For an international audience beyond Malawi, pairing .mw with a .com version of the same name is common practice.
