.ma is the Internetcountry codetop-level domain (ccTLD) for Morocco (French: Maroc). A local registrar with a local Moroccan company as administrative contact is needed to register a .ma or .co.ma domain name. Further restrictions are imposed on the registering of other second-level domains (such as .net.ma or .gov.ma).
In 1995 the technical management of the .ma domain was taken over by Maroc Telecom, who is still the (not formal) technical maintainer.
On 12 May 2006 IANA redesignated the administrative and technical contact for the domain, and made the Agence nationale de réglementation des télécommunications (ANRT) the only official registrar for the .ma ccTLD.[2]
Within some years the ANRT will request the market to bid on a "Technical maintainer" license which is valid for five years. The new party will get 12 months to implement a provisioning system based on Extensible Provisioning Protocol. Automatic provisioning of .ma domains cannot be expected until 2013.
March 2015 the ANRT takes official control of .ma and launches new automatic provisioning.
Total internet users in Morocco: 19,021,000 (2016)[3]
Total ADSL connection in Morocco: 550,000 (2007)[4]
Second-level domainsedit
Registration can be done directly at the second level, or at the third level beneath these names:
المغرب.: Arabic Right-to-left TLD for Morocco, General use
.ma: General use
net.ma: Internet providers
ac.ma: Educational institutions
org.ma: Organizations
gov.ma: Governmental entities
press.ma: Press and publications
co.ma: Commercial entities
Second top-level domainedit
A second top-level domain will be used for Morocco intended for domain names in the local language using Arabic characters. The string المغرب. has been registered and approved for this purpose, and was delegated to Morocco in April 2011,[5] but it is not yet active (2015) and second level domains have not been granted yet.
