Wondering about the official price of a .ma domain name in Morocco? In practice, with ANRT-accredited registrars, the reference rate is around 150 MAD excl. tax per year.
This guide compares market prices, lists a few local providers, and explains why you should avoid resellers selling .ma domains for more than 800 MAD.
How much does a .ma cost in Morocco?
With accredited Moroccan registrars, the annual price of a .ma usually sits between 149 MAD and 200 MAD excl. tax.
The most common figure — and the one to remember — is 150 MAD excl. tax / year.
This covers registration (or renewal) with a provider that complies with the national registry. Fees can vary slightly by registrar, promotions, or included DNS / options.
Example prices from providers in Morocco
Here are a few local market references (excl. tax, annual registration):
| Provider | Indicative .ma price |
|---|---|
| Hostino | 150 MAD excl. tax / year |
| Clouder | 150 MAD excl. tax / year |
| ADK Media | 149 MAD excl. tax / year |
With other accredited registrars, the price can go up to about 200 MAD excl. tax / year. That range remains reasonable as long as you stay within it.

Why aim for ~150 MAD — not much more?
A .ma sold around 150 MAD with an accredited registrar means:
- a price aligned with the Moroccan market;
- registration handled by a provider known to the registry;
- a simpler path for holder verification and local support.
Paying a bit more (up to ~200 MAD) can still be fine depending on the service included. A huge markup, however, should raise a red flag.
Avoid resellers charging more than 800 MAD
Be wary of offers — especially abroad or via non-accredited intermediaries — that sell a .ma domain for more than 800 MAD (sometimes far more).
Those high prices usually bring no real benefit compared with an accredited Moroccan registrar at 150 MAD. Worse, going through a reseller can complicate:
- recovering the EPP code;
- following up on the holder file;
- getting support in case of a dispute or suspension.
Bottom line: for a .ma, prefer an accredited registrar in Morocco and a price near 150 MAD excl. tax/year. If someone quotes 800 MAD or more for the same .ma, walk away.
How to buy at the right price
- Check name availability (WHOIS / .ma registry).
- Choose an ANRT-accredited registrar (Hostino, Clouder, ADK, etc.).
- Compare the listed price: aim for ~150 MAD excl. tax, accept up to ~200 MAD if the service justifies it.
- Enter a correct holder (real name, justifiable documents).
- Keep the invoice and access to your client area.
If your current provider is unreachable or blocks the transfer, read: dispute with a .ma domain registrar.
