The English translation of the slogan of the logo directly to the right is: ".mx is the new way to say Mexico."
[edit] Second-level domains
Domain registrations in .mx consist of third-level names beneath second-level names which parallel some of the top level domains:

- .net.mx – Network providers (registration limited to qualifying entities)
- .org.mx – Non-profit organizations (registration limited to qualifying entities)
- .edu.mx – Educational institutions (registration limited to qualifying entities)
