.com.my is expensive and only companies can register it.

How many RM in USD $?
Just trying to get an idea how much your country domains cost

It's abut USD40, not worth it.

Wow just for a normal domain...
I would only pay that for a domain which is useful or short, but $40 is far too much just for going to register any normal domain.

Some country domains do cost more than the normal TLDs but you can usually find them for cheaper than you would get a TLD.

What do you mean without document velton?

Yeah, if it was www.myname.my, then i would even pay USD50. Btw, only companies can register for domain names in Malaysia. Some documents need to be faxed to the registrar before he registers the domain name. They just launched www.myname.name.my with to me is a lousy lousy domain name. It will be www.jason.name.my .

I have paidomain.tk and i think it's a nice thing

. I know many people don't like the extension but i have nothing against it.

Just out of interest, how much is it for a paid .tk?

Would you not rather get a .com/net/org or another TLD for your site?
If someone doesnt remember the address they normally try one of the 3 above but I have never tried .tk if I forgot a domain name.
I think it would end up in losing a lot of visitors who enter the wrong address for your site

A dot.tk paid domain is around 9.95$/year. Personally i tend to remember domains with other extensions more than the .com .net and .org

. Anyway it depends on the person.

Velton told me that .tk domain names are slow. Is that true? i am thinking of getting one.

No I dont think .tk will make any difference for speed.
BUT when you first go to a .tk site a popup window shows (Which advertises dot.tk I think) which will slow it down
