Registry FAQ
Questions with direct answers.
A short operational guide for registrants, registrars, rights holders, and users checking domain records.
What is a policy-driven domain registry?
A policy-driven domain registry manages labels beneath curated extensions such as ORG.YT or BIZ.WF, applying structured registration, lifecycle, WHOIS, and abuse policies.
How do I get a domain for my organization in Mayotte?
Search the label you want under ORG.YT on the WHOIS page. ORG.YT is intended for organizations, projects, communities, civil-society initiatives, and public-benefit identities connected to or serving a Mayotte-oriented audience. If the label is available and not reserved, continue with a registrar or the configured registration link.
Which UDR extension should a school or learning project use?
Use SCH.TF or SCH.WF for school portals, e-learning programmes, academic projects, departments, training communities, and other education-oriented identities. AC.GR is intended for academic and research-oriented projects where that namespace is appropriate.
How does WHOIS work for UDR domains?
The public WHOIS page calls a Laravel route that queries RDAP at https://rdap.org.yt and renders a readable summary with raw JSON available for audit.
Can registrars integrate directly?
Yes. Approved registrar partners can be onboarded for API-driven checks, registration requests, renewals, updates, and compliance queues.
How should abuse be reported?
Use the dedicated abuse form with the affected domain, abuse category, severity, URLs, timestamps, and evidence details. Critical reports are prioritized separately from ordinary support.
Are premium or reserved labels available?
Some short, generic, protected, or high-risk labels may require registry review, premium pricing, trademark checks, or may remain unavailable. Reserved labels are shown as reserved or restricted when the registry returns that status.
