SIMPANG AMPAT, PENANG, MALAYSIA – June 9, 2026 – BigDomain, a leading provider of digital infrastructure and AI-driven SEO solutions, today announced a major strategic evolution in its domain management services. The company is officially transitioning from its direct MYNIC registrar status to integrate with Web fully.Plus (also known as WebNIC)—a strategic alliance built on a foundational relationship that began a decade ago, even before BigDomain’s official incorporation.
This move is a deliberate, forward-looking upgrade designed to eliminate the administrative overhead of traditional registrar compliance, enabling BigDomain to offer the most competitive and affordable domain pricing in the region to its clients.
A Legacy of Championing Local Digital Identity
This evolution builds upon our founder’s deep-rooted history of advocating for Malaysia’s digital presence. In 2011, BigDomain Founder and CEO Dr. Henry Tye established Domainplus, forging a close, collaborative relationship with MYNIC. During an era when businesses overwhelmingly preferred .com extensions, Dr. Tye worked hand-in-hand with MYNIC and government ministries to aggressively promote and popularize the .MY domain name locally.
Following the successful acquisition of Domainplus, Dr. Tye founded BigDomain as a next-generation technology provider. While BigDomain’s backend infrastructure is now shifting to the Web.Plus ecosystem to ensure cost-efficiency and scale, the company’s foundational dedication to supporting and elevating the .MY The namespace remains a proud cornerstone of its identity.
The Strategic Upgrade: Lower Overhead, Better Pricing
The digital landscape demands agility and cost-efficiency. Maintaining a direct registrar status often requires heavy administrative, financial, and compliance requirements that do not directly translate to client value.
By deepening its long-standing alliance with Web. Plus (WebNIC), BigDomain is eliminating these operational bottlenecks. Leaving behind the rigid requirements of a localized registrar empowers the company to leverage the Web. Plus’s global-scale infrastructure. More importantly, the operational savings gained from this transition are being passed directly to clients, cementing BigDomain’s position as the most cost-effective domain provider in the region.
Key Benefits of the Upgraded Ecosystem
Clients will experience immediate and long-term advantages as a result of this streamlined architecture:
- Unbeatable Regional Pricing: By removing direct registrar compliance costs, BigDomain guarantees continued access to the most affordable domain prices in the market.
- Decade-Backed Reliability: Built on a trusted, ten-year foundational relationship with Web.Plus (WebNIC), ensuring deep technical alignment and proven stability.
- Expanded Ecosystem & Agility: Access to a broader, more flexible range of global domain extensions, seamless cloud storage integrations, and enterprise-grade security protocols.
Advancing a Comprehensive Digital Ecosystem

Trusted by leading brands, BigDomain pioneers advanced search visibility through AI-driven SEO (AISEO), Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), and comprehensive Google My Business management.

Freeing up internal resources from traditional registrar compliance allows BigDomain to focus its expertise, resources, and manpower on driving this critical AI transformation, ensuring local businesses are equipped to thrive in an AI-first economy.
A Word from Leadership
“We have always been proud pioneers of the .MY identity, dating back to 2011 when we worked closely with MYNIC and the ministry to champion local domains over .com,” said Dr. Henry Tye, Founder and CEO of BigDomain. “At the same time, our relationship with Web. Plus, the WebNIC ecosystem goes back ten years—predating even the official launch of BigDomain itself. Transitioning away from direct MYNIC registrar status is a massive strategic advantage for our clients today. It frees us from administrative heavy lifting and allows us to do exactly what we promise: deliver the absolute best digital infrastructure at the most affordable price in the region. This isn’t just an infrastructure upgrade; it’s a pricing guarantee.”
“We are delighted to deepen our decade-long collaboration with BigDomain as they elevate their.MY domain offerings,” said Penny Beh, Manager at Web. Plus. “By upgrading their backend operations to the Web. Plus global ecosystem, BigDomain is ensuring a streamlined, enterprise-grade experience for its clients. This strategic integration reflects BigDomain’s strong commitment to building digital trust and delivering highly secure, scalable domain services. We look forward to supporting BigDomain’s continued success and innovation in the MY domain market, strengthening confidence across the digital ecosystem.”
Seamless Transition for Existing Clients
