Here are the key reasons why registering my-domains is beneficial:
Enhanced Online Presence: My-domains can create a stronger and more recognizable online identity, directly associating your brand or personal presence with Malaysia.
Credibility and Trust: Having a my-domain can increase trust among local customers and partners, as it signals a strong connection to Malaysia.
Market Relevance: A my-domain can help in targeting the Malaysian market more effectively, making your website more relevant and attractive to local users.
SEO Benefits: Local domain extensions can improve search engine rankings in local searches, enhancing visibility and attracting more local traffic to your website. Google.com.my prefers websites with .my.

Why Pre-registering Before June 20th is Important
To maximize these benefits, it is advisable to pre-register your my-domain with a registrar before the official launch date. Here’s why:
Securing Desired Names: Pre-registration increases your chances of securing your preferred domain name. With the global availability of my-domains, competition will be high, and popular names may be taken quickly.
Avoiding Cyber Squatting: Pre-registering helps in preventing others from registering your desired domain name and then attempting to sell it to you at a higher price.
Priority Access: Many registrars offer a priority registration period for pre-registrations, giving you an advantage over those who wait until the launch date.
Early Activation: Pre-registering may allow you to activate and start using your domain sooner, giving you a head start in establishing your online presence.
