WHAT IS A .COM.PY DOMAIN

com.py Domain: The Commercial Zone of Paraguay

com.py is the commercial zone under Paraguay's country extension. Its registry is not a company but a joint university body: NIC.PY consists of the National Computing Centre of the National University of Asunción (CNC-UNA) and the Digital Electronics Laboratory of the Catholic University (LED-UCA), and draws its mandate from the Accountability Framework signed with ICANN. Even the division of labour is written down: CNC performs the technical check on an application, LED the approval review. The extension entered the root zone on 9 September 1991.

Registration happens only at the third level, and the zone list has seven entries; five of them are restricted and require special documentation (edu.py, gov.py, mil.py, coop.py, org.py). com.py is not restricted — the policy defines it as covering any organisation, company, product, service or person not falling under the preceding cases, and states that such applications receive automatic approval. The eligibility sentence is equally plain: any natural or legal person, national or foreign, may apply, and there is no cap on the number of names one holder may take. No clause asks for residence, incorporation or a representative in Paraguay.

The most distinctive feature of the extension is its character set: alongside the accented letters of Spanish, names may use the nasal vowels of the Guaraní alphabet (ã, ẽ, ĩ, õ, ũ, ỹ), the nasal consonant g̃ and the pusó mark — the country's second official language is supported at the domain level. The zone is signed in the root, and the registry publishes a dedicated DS update form for registrants. Check the status of the name you want on the domain name search page.

A trademark alone will not win a name back: This registry is one of the few that writes its doctrine out loud. Its general guidelines say three things: a domain is delegated in order to be used, and asking for one merely to reserve it for the future or to stop others from having it is not legitimate; requesting a delegation in order to sell it is named outright as a negative practice; and holding a registered trademark does not by itself create a special right at NIC-PY to obtain a name already delegated — because trademark systems are divided into classes while the DNS allows only one holder per string. Note the limit of that rule: it does not make trademarks useless. The dispute policy requires three conditions together — similarity to a mark, no legitimate interest on the other side, and bad faith. View required documents →

Frequently Asked Questions About .com.py Domains

The questions people actually ask before registering — answered plainly.

  • Yes. The policy opens eligibility in a single sentence: a delegation may be requested by any natural or legal person, national or foreign, and there is no limit on how many names one person, company or institution may hold. No clause asks for residence, incorporation, an address or a representative in Paraguay. The payment side supports this too: the registry accepts online payment from anywhere in the world and lists international cards explicitly.

  • As a rule no, but there is one exception. The policy attaches the document requirement only to the restricted zones — edu.py, gov.py, mil.py, coop.py and org.py — and places com.py in the unrestricted group whose applications receive automatic approval. The procedure text, however, reserves a discretion for the unit conducting the approval review: where it sees a problem it may ask the applicant for supporting documents on the organisation's letterhead. Documents are an exceptional check, not part of the rule.

  • Two characters. The naming section of the policy sets the minimum at two but recommends at least five to reduce the chance of conflicts; the maximum is 63, with a recommended ceiling of 24. A separate rule applies to short strings: names of fewer than four letters are delegated only to companies, organisations or individuals who justify the request, and at a differentiated price. A name may not begin or end with a hyphen or contain two consecutive hyphens.

  • Yes, and this is the most distinctive feature of the extension. The policy lists permitted characters by origin: digits and the hyphen, the letters of the Spanish alphabet, the accented vowels (á, é, í, ó, ú, ý) and the dieresis "ü", the nasal vowels of the Guaraní alphabet (ã, ẽ, ĩ, õ, ũ, ỹ), the nasal consonant g̃, and the closing single quote implementing the Guaraní pusó. The country's second official language is therefore supported at the domain level.

  • Yes. The permissions table in the policy defines "change the responsible organisation of the domain" as its own row and grants it to the administrative contact alone — the technical and billing contacts cannot perform it. The same table separates the other powers: changing the DNS servers belongs to the administrative and technical contacts, while renewal is open to all three. If there is no administrative contact, the responsible organisation may act through a representative it appoints.

  • The registry does not arbitrate itself; the procedure sits in a separate policy plus two rulebooks. The threshold is three cumulative conditions: the name must be identical or confusingly similar to a trademark in which you hold rights; the other side must have no rights or legitimate interest in the name; and the name must have been registered or be used in bad faith. The holder is deemed to accept this policy when applying, when making a modification, or when paying a renewal.

  • Yes. The zone is signed in the root and carries the only elliptic-curve signing measured in this series, with two digest types published for the same key. The registrant side is open too: the registry runs a dedicated DNSSEC page offering a modification form for updating DS records, and links out to validation tools. You can ask your registrar to submit your DS record to the registry.
