* '''[[Sunrise period]]''' from 1 May to 31 July 2009, [[waiting period]], registrants who have already registered any other .MX second-level domain were able to register their domain for one year
* '''Waiting period''' from 1 August to 31 August 2009, to set up the domains registered in the Sunrise period, and to resolve domain name disputes
* '''Initial registration period''' from 1 September to 31 October 2009; in this part the registration will be done with the [[policy]] [[first-come, first-served]] and only for one year with a special set of prices.{{update after|2009|12|31}}

After the three phases, .mx registrations were opened to the public.

==Second-level domains==
Up until August 2009, domain registrations besides .MX consisted of third-level names beneath [[Second-level domain|second-level]] names which parallel some of the [[top-level domain]]s:

* .com.mx: Commercial entities (actually unrestricted, like [[.com]])
* .net.mx: Network providers (registration limited to qualifying entities)
* .org.mx: Non-profit organizations (registration limited to qualifying entities)
* .ngo.mx: Non-profit organizations or Civil society organizations (registration NOT limited to qualifying entities)
* .edu.mx: Educational institutions (registration limited to qualifying entities)
* .gob.mx: Federal, State or Municipal Governmental entities only (''.gob'' derives from the Spanish word for government: "'''''Gob'''ierno''")

Currently second level domains can be registered directly under .mx.{{cn|date=June 2022}}
