KUALA LUMPUR, 16 January 2026 — Exabytes, Southeast Asia’s leading AI Hosting, Business App, Commerce, Digital and Enterprise solutions provider, together with the support of MYNIC Berhad (MYNIC), Malaysia’s official .MY domain registry, marked a major milestone in Malaysia’s digitalisation journey with the successful conclusion of its nationwide digital adoption campaign—culminating in the giveaway of a brand-new Tesla Model Y.
The grand finale event, held at the Tesla Experience Centre Cyberjaya, brought together business leaders, entrepreneurs, and ecosystem partners committed to advancing Malaysia’s digital economy. The event was officiated by Eric Foo, Deputy CEO of Exabytes, and graced by the presence of Encik Hafiz Shahrel Hanafiah, Senior Vice President of Operations, MYNIC, alongside representatives from both organisations.
Exabytes Drive Dreams with Domains
The highlight of the day was the announcement of the Tesla Model Y grand prize winner, which saw Mr. Wong Toong Poo, Founder of DIY Business System (https://abcde.my/), drive away with the all-electric vehicle. Sharing his excitement, Wong said, “This experience has shown us that digital transformation starts with a single, decisive step. With the guidance of Exabytes and MYNIC, we’ve moved our business forward by building a stronger digital foundation across our online assets. Having managed 278 active MYNIC domains and partnered with Exabytes for nearly 11 years, I can confidently say that investing early in the right digital infrastructure makes a real difference. I encourage other Malaysian entrepreneurs to embrace the same journey.”
The campaign, which ran throughout 2025, was designed to empower Malaysian businesses—particularly SMEs—to establish credible and competitive digital identities. Participants qualified for the grand prize by registering selected .MY domain extensions with Exabytes through new purchases or subscription renewals. Each one-year subscription, whether new or renewed, entitled the participant to one entry, while longer subscription periods earned additional entries.
The strong response reflected growing awareness among Malaysian enterprises of the importance of digital readiness. This year, more than 20,000 businesses participated, generating over 70,000 entries in total, underscoring the increasing demand for trusted local domains, reliable digital infrastructure, and scalable online solutions to support long-term growth.
Exabytes GROW Digital Mission
As part of its mission to GROW Digital, Exabytes continues to play a pivotal role in helping Malaysian businesses build their online presence through domain registration, web hosting, cloud services, and digital solutions. Its ongoing collaboration with MYNIC reinforces the importance of local domain ownership in strengthening online credibility, trust, and brand identity in an increasingly competitive digital landscape.
Commenting on the initiative, Eric Foo, Deputy CEO of Exabytes, said, “The pace of digital transformation continues to accelerate, and SMEs must move with it. Our goal with this campaign was to empower more Malaysian businesses to build strong digital foundations, and the overwhelming response reinforces the importance of digitalisation in driving future-ready growth.”
Beyond digital enablement, the campaign also championed sustainable innovation. The Tesla Model Y, a global symbol of clean energy and advanced technology, was selected as the grand prize to reflect the parallel between digital transformation and the electrification of mobility, both shaping the future of business and society. With its advanced safety features, intelligent technology, and long-range efficiency, the Model Y embodies progress, innovation, and forward thinking.
Building on this momentum, Exabytes and MYNIC will continue their joint efforts to deepen digital adoption among Malaysian businesses. Upcoming initiatives will place stronger emphasis on AI-powered solutions, cybersecurity awareness, and smart digital marketing, enabling businesses not just to be online—but to thrive, scale, and build trust in the digital economy.
