.mv is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the Republic of Maldives. It is administered by Dhiraagu Pvt Ltd, a Telecommunications company.

Mainly due to the unavailability of an online registration service, a whois lookup and large maintenance cost, Maldivian ccTLD is usedpredominantly by government agencies and large businesses. Smaller companies and organizations prefer generic TLDs such as .comand .net.
