.mw is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Malawi. In 2002 the IANA recommended that administration of the ccTLD be transferred to the Malawi Sustainable Development Network Programme from Computer Solutions LTD[1]
Prices for .mw domains are 100 USD for the first two years, followed by 50 USD per year.
Second-level domains
