Country-code domain · Moldova
Register a .md domain
Register a .md domain — read as 'M.D.' worldwide, or as a genuine stake in Moldova's market. .md is Moldova's official country code, but in practice it's best known as a domain hack: name.md reads instantly as "M.D." for doctors, clinics, and health brands. Registration has no residency requirement, so the hack works for anyone.

- Founders who want a short, distinctive ending and don't need a .com
What it signals
Registering a .md signals either a genuine connection to Moldova's market, or a deliberate branding choice — most often from healthcare providers and medical brands using it as a domain hack for "M.D."
Pros
- Doubles as a domain hack: name.md reads instantly as 'M.D.' for doctors, clinics, and health brands
- Open worldwide registration — no Moldovan residency, business presence, or local contact required
- Short, clean two-letter ending that's easy to say and type
- Renewal price at Modusdom is locked to your registration price, so a niche hack doesn't get pricier to keep
- WHOIS privacy where the registry allows it, and we configure your outbound mail authentication (SPF/DKIM/DMARC) at setup
Watch-outs
- Not a household-name TLD outside the medical/domain-hack niche, so some visitors may need the .md meaning explained
- Moldova's national registry (a division of the state-run telecom/IT authority) sets the rules and pricing wholesale, so terms can shift independent of any registrar
- WHOIS privacy and support processes follow a smaller ccTLD registry, not a large gTLD, so turnaround on registry-side requests can be slower
