Why get a shorter address? Shorter Internet address will offer you the following :
1) You will gain an impactful identification mark within the global Internet community as it is easier to remember
2) You can span across any industry (as the name will no longer need any categorization of type of entity) to promote your products and services
3) You are protecting your intellectual property & brand name. Failure to register your name using shorter suffix companyname.my leaves it open for other entities/parties to take up the name, that may result in trademark issues later
4) It is faster and quicker for foreign Internet communities to recognize you as a Malaysian brand selling to the global market
