.pa domains

Panama

.PA domains pertain to Panama and were created in 1994. This extension is relatively popular in the country.

.PA domains are managed by Nic.PA.

Important: The .PA extension is actually reserved only for the owners/registrants of the third level domain (for example, domain.com.pa) registered before December 31st, 2014 and want to register the same domain under the second level (for example, domain.pa). In case that this third level domain doesn't exist, the NIC won't allow the domain registration.
