Eh, Really?
I found this blatant misinformation today from our local, ahem, 'definitive business resource'.
1. Can I register as '.com' instead of '.com.my'?Note to the Editor: there are a number of local representatives who can register .com domains on your behalf.
Currently, our service is limited to the registration of '.com.my' addresses only. However, if you already own a '.com' address, we can host that address on our server. To register a '.com' address, you have to deal directly with the Domain Registrar in the USA.
