What is a .ml domain? Is it a good idea to buy a .ml domain?

In recent years, various domain name suffixes have emerged in an endless stream.

What is a .ml domain name?

The .ml domain name is a type of national domain name, just like my country's .cn domain name and Germany's .de domain name. The .ml domain name is the suffix of the Mali top-level domain name (ccTLD), which was allocated for use in 1993 and began to implement the principle of free registration in 2013. From the meaning point of view, .ml can be translated into Chinese as "beauty, charm, brightness, fame and fortune", etc., and can be used in a wide range of industries, especially suitable for fields related to beauty and fashion. Since many people are not very familiar with this suffix, there is still a lot of room for "mining" resources.

Is it good to buy a .ml domain name?

The .ml domain name is now one of the most popular free top-level domain names, and free is its biggest advantage. But it also has many adverse effects-it is very likely that if someone else pays for the domain name you are using, your domain name will change hands immediately. In terms of use, free domain names also have many restrictions, such as it is difficult to be included in some domestic search engines, being marked as a spam site, and mailboxes are also easily put into the spam box. In addition, many hosting providers do not support this type of domain name. Therefore, it is recommended to register a regular international domain name, so that whether it is a website or an email, it will be more formal.

In general, if you plan to build a website for a long time, it is not recommended to use such free domain names. It will be safer and more reliable to register some paid domain names.
