Exabytes, Southeast Asia’s leading provider of AI hosting, business applications, e-commerce, and digital solutions, in partnership with MYNIC Berhad, Malaysia’s official .MY domain registry, recently celebrated a major milestone in the nation’s digitalization journey with the conclusion of its nationwide digital adoption campaign, highlighted by the giveaway of a brand-new Tesla Model Y. The grand finale, held at the Tesla Experience Centre in Cyberjaya, brought together business leaders, entrepreneurs, and ecosystem partners dedicated to advancing Malaysia’s digital economy. The event was officiated by Eric Foo, Deputy CEO of Exabytes, alongside Encik Hafiz Shahrel Hanafiah, Senior Vice President of Operations, MYNIC, with participation from representatives of both organizations.
The campaign, which ran throughout 2025, aimed to empower Malaysian SMEs to build credible and competitive digital identities by registering selected .MY domain names with Exabytes. Each registration, whether a new purchase or renewal, earned entries for the Tesla Model Y grand prize, culminating in the announcement of the winner, Mr. Wong Toong Poo, founder of DIY Business System. Wong shared, “Digital transformation starts with a single, decisive step. With Exabytes and MYNIC’s guidance, we’ve strengthened our digital foundation, managing 278 active MYNIC domains and leveraging nearly 11 years of partnership. Early investment in digital infrastructure truly makes a difference, and I encourage fellow Malaysian entrepreneurs to take that step.”
The campaign attracted over 20,000 businesses, generating more than 70,000 entries, reflecting the growing awareness of digital readiness and the rising demand for reliable local domains, scalable digital infrastructure, and online solutions to support sustainable growth. Through its GROW Digital initiative, Exabytes continues to provide SMEs with domain registration, web hosting, cloud services, and comprehensive digital solutions, while MYNIC reinforces the value of local domain ownership as a symbol of credibility, trust, and national pride.
Eric Foo highlighted, “Digital transformation is accelerating, and SMEs must move with it. Our campaign aimed to strengthen digital foundations, and the overwhelming response shows the importance of digitalization for future-ready growth.” Encik Hafiz Shahrel Hanafiah added, “A strong digital presence starts with a trusted digital identity. Registering a .MY domain reflects credibility and local trust, essential for Malaysian businesses to thrive in the digital economy.”
The Tesla Model Y, chosen as the grand prize, symbolizes clean energy, innovation, and forward-thinking technology, paralleling the transformative power of digital adoption. Building on this momentum, Exabytes and MYNIC plan to continue driving digital adoption through AI-powered solutions, cybersecurity awareness, and smart digital marketing initiatives, enabling Malaysian businesses not only to establish an online presence but to scale, innovate, and build trust in the rapidly evolving digital landscape.
