Short names are the most sought after - quick to type, easy to say over the phone without spelling, and they fit on any card. Which is exactly why, on Mozambican extensions, the shortest names have their own rules: a single character is not accepted, and a name of 2 or 3 characters has a special price.
Why it is different
The .mz rules (Decree 82/2020) only accept names of 2 to 63 characters, so a single-character name cannot be registered. A name of 2 or 3 characters costs 40% more than the extension's normal price, for registration, renewal and transfer. And, like every .mz name, it only exists once the National Registry (INTIC) approves it. This covers .co.mz, .org.mz, .net.mz, .ac.mz and .edu.mz.
How the request goes
| 1 |
You place the request as you would for any other domain.
|
|
| 2 |
We submit it to the National Registry (INTIC) for review, as with every .mz name.
|
|
| 3 |
Approval can take up to 5 working days. We keep checking the Registry and e-mail you as soon as the domain is yours.
|
|
| 4 |
If approved, the domain goes live as usual. If not, we let you know and sort out what you paid.
|
|
|
Do not build a deadline around it. If you have a launch, a campaign or printed material on the way, do not schedule them around a short name that is still awaiting approval.
|
|
A practical way round it: register a longer version of the name as well. That keeps the site up while the short name is under review, and afterwards you simply point one at the other.
