Registration Requirements:
- Must comply with specific TLD registry policies
- Different rules apply compared to standard domain extensions
- Special requirements vary by registrar
Expiration and Renewal Process:
Tucows Registrar:
- 30-day redemption period after expiration
- Must contact Tucows directly for renewal during this period
- Domains return to registrar after expiration
- No renewal possible through original platform
Key-Systems Registrar:
- Approximately 30-day renewal window after expiration
- Domain must be renewed while still visible in account dashboard
- Contact support for potential reactivation if renewal window passes
Important Considerations:
- Pricing varies (check domain search page or dashboard for current rates)
- Different rules apply for third-party domain connections

- Follow local Mexican regulations for domain usage
These domains offer strong local presence for Mexican businesses and organizations while providing the same technical capabilities as other domain extensions.
