Ever wondered why UoM (University of Mauritius) doesn’t use a Top Level Domain as uom.mu? We wouldn’t have to use the long crappy email fname.lname@umail.uom.ac.mu. It would have been less scary for first timers.

Some googling showed that almost all Mauritian institutions/universities have .ac.mu such as University of Technology (UTM). The Charles Telfair Institute, etc.

 

What does .ac stands for?

“.ac (short for academia) is a second level domain for academic establishments, such as universities, colleges and research institutes.^[1] Many countries use .edu for the same purpose, for example .edu.au in Australia and .edu.my in Malaysia.” – Wikipedia

I’d still prefer if UoM had a TLD. Neways, it won’t be weird when referring to ac.mu now 😉
