The .com is an international extension, recognized everywhere, with no local signal and no supporting document to provide to the registry. For a business aimed at a local audience, the .ma is the natural choice; for a wider reach, the .com. Many projects register both — the .ma for the website, the .com as a redirect —, which also keeps the name out of a third party's hands.",900,{"id":20,"category":10,"question":21,"answer":22,"weight":23},1289,"My site is already on Vercel, Netlify, Wix or Shopify: can I buy just the domain?","Yes: the domain alone is a complete order, and its DNS management is included at no extra cost. Once the domain is active, turn on managed DNS on its page, then create the A record and the www CNAME your platform gives you; they do not take effect instantly.

You can tick it when searching for a domain, for a new registration, and its yearly price is shown next to the checkbox. It cannot be added to an incoming transfer. It does not exist for .ma domains or their sub-extensions: the national registry (ANRT) makes no provision for WHOIS privacy.",488,{"id":30,"category":10,"question":31,"answer":32,"weight":33},164,"What is a registrant contact (Whois) and how do I associate it with my domain?","The registrant contact (Whois) identifies the owner of a domain name — name, email, phone and address — and applies to all extensions. The easiest way: create a reusable record, just once, from “My contacts” in your client area; you can then reuse it on any domain (allowing you to register a domain on behalf of a third party). If you already have a record, you can associate it at the time of ordering; otherwise, no entry is required to finalize your first purchase — a reminder invites you to complete the registrant details right afterward, from the domain's details page. For a .ma domain, ANRT additionally requires a copy of the registrant's document (national ID card, passport or residence permit for an individual; ICE certificate or RC extract, with the legal representative's national ID card, for a company): you upload it after ordering, from the domain's details page, without it blocking your purchase.",487,{"id":35,"category":10,"question":36,"answer":37,"weight":38},255,"Why does my .ma domain require the titleholder's ID document, and how do I send it?","For .ma domains, the registry (ANRT) now requires a copy of the registrant's supporting document — no longer just its number: national ID card, passport or residence permit for an individual; ICE certificate or RC extract, always accompanied by the legal representative's national ID card, for a business. Upload it from your client area, on the affected domain's page. Mind the order: the domain must first have a registrant contact linked (the “Registrant to complete” banner); once that contact is filled in, the “Registrant supporting document” section and its upload area appear right below. Accepted formats are PDF, JPG or PNG, 5 MB max per file, 2 files maximum so you can attach both sides of an ID card. Our team verifies it before forwarding it to the registry. Without this document, ANRT may block and then delete your .ma domain — it does not block your order, but complete it as soon as possible. You can also reply to the reminder email with the document attached: your reply reaches our support team. If ANRT lists your domain in one of its notices, it allows one week from that notice: we email you the same day with the exact date.",486,{"id":40,"category":10,"question":41,"answer":42,"weight":43},386,"How do I transfer a ‎.ma domain to ServOrbit from another registrar?","Transferring a ‎.ma domain follows specific rules set by the national registry (ANRT): your domain must have been active for at least 60 days, its transfer lock must be removed, and you must provide the EPP authorization code from your current registrar. The identity documents required for the registrant are the same as for a new ‎.ma registration. Contact our team via the contact form or write to support@servorbit.com for step-by-step guidance.",112,{"id":45,"category":10,"question":46,"answer":47,"weight":9},623,"Can I register a .ma domain if my company is not based in Morocco?","Yes. ServOrbit registers .ma domains for companies and individuals regardless of their country of residence. One condition applies, however: under ANRT rules (decision no. 02\u002F2024, art. 27), a registrant domiciled outside Morocco must appoint an administrative contact, an individual established in Morocco with a valid postal address and e-mail address. Find the available extensions and indicative prices on the Domains page of your client area.",{"id":49,"category":10,"question":50,"answer":51,"weight":9},1334,"What is Morocco's domain name?","Morocco's national extension is .ma. Its registry is run by ANRT, the National Telecommunications Regulatory Agency, which accredits the providers authorized to register names in it on behalf of third parties. The registry also opens six second-level extensions: .co.ma, .net.ma and .org.ma are registered directly, while .ac.ma, .press.ma and .gov.ma are reserved for certain categories of registrants and go through a prior review by ANRT. Names written in Arabic characters, for their part, fall under a different national extension.",{"id":53,"category":10,"question":54,"answer":55,"weight":9},625,"What documents are required to register a .ma domain for a company?","For registration in the name of a company, the ANRT requires an ICE certificate (or, failing that, a commercial register extract), always accompanied by the legal representative's national ID card. Depending on the chosen extension (.ma, .co.ma, .net.ma…), additional documents may be needed. These documents do not block your purchase: you upload them after ordering, from the domain's page in your client area, and our team checks them before forwarding them to the ANRT.",{"id":57,"category":10,"question":58,"answer":59,"weight":9},658,"Can my .ma domain name contain digits or hyphens?","Yes, the ANRT charter allows letters (a-z), digits (0-9) and hyphens — except at the start or end of the name, and no two consecutive hyphens.

These documents are uploaded after your order, from the domain's page in your client area, without blocking your purchase; our team checks them before submitting them to ANRT. If the file is incomplete, we will contact you for correction before any rejection.",{"id":65,"category":10,"question":66,"answer":67,"weight":9},1056,"How can I tell whether a .ma domain is already taken, and by whom?","Our free \u003Ca href=\"\u002Fen\u002Ftools\u002Fma-whois-lookup\">.ma WHOIS\u003C\u002Fa> tool queries the ANRT registry directly (.ma, .co.ma, .net.ma…): it tells you whether the name is free or registered and, if it is taken, shows its creation, expiry and last-update dates, its nameservers, its statuses and, when known, the registrar that manages it. It does not, however, show the registrant's name or contact details: this is a privacy choice, not a technical limitation — these are personal data, governed by Moroccan Law 09-08, which we do not republish on an open page. To reach a registrant, the route is the registry itself or ANRT's dispute procedure.

The domain becomes reachable on the Internet when the registry publishes its zone: a newly created name may have to wait for the next publication, and we do not promise a specific time. A name subject to ANRT's prior review (.ac.ma, .press.ma and .gov.ma extensions, or a reserved term) remains pending until its decision, given within 5 business days at most once the file is complete.

Both keep responding as long as the domain's name servers and DNS zone stay in place. The only real risk comes from a DNS zone hosted by the provider you are leaving: if they delete it, both website and emails stop — recreate it elsewhere before starting the transfer.
