.africa.com registration
.africa.com is open to individuals, businesses, organisations, and communities without eligibility conditions. It suits projects connected with African markets, audiences, culture, travel, commerce, or regional initiatives. Available names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so an earlier completed registration takes priority. Your chosen label must contain between 3 and 63 characters. The registry does not require a local address, regional presence, or supporting documents. This makes .africa.com accessible to both Africa-based registrants and international projects seeking a clear connection with the continent. To transfer an existing .africa.com domain to host.yt, first disable the transfer lock at your current registrar and request the domain’s authorisation code. Submit that code with the transfer order. A transfer may take several days, but it does not change the domain’s existing expiration date. Changing the registered holder requires authentication by both parties. Validation emails are sent to the current holder and the future holder, and each must complete the required confirmation. If the process is not completed within five days, the holder-change request is cancelled. Renewal, DNS, DNSSEC, forwarding, registrar-lock, and contact-management operations are also supported.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .africa.com extension represent?
africa.com signals a connection with Africa while retaining the familiar .com ending. It can support a continental, regional, commercial, cultural, or community identity without tying the website to one African country. The extension is suitable for projects addressing audiences across multiple African markets.
Who can register a .africa.com domain?
Anyone can register a .africa.com domain. Registration is open to individuals, companies, organisations, and other applicants worldwide, with no local-presence condition. Names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so the first eligible registration completed for an available name receives it.
Are there restrictions or required documents for .africa.com registration?
There are no eligibility conditions or supporting-document requirements for registering .africa.com. You do not need an African address, citizenship, company registration, or trademark. The selected domain label must be between 3 and 63 characters, and the requested name must still be available.
Is .africa.com a good choice, and what projects suit it?
africa.com is a practical choice for businesses entering African markets, pan-African organisations, tourism services, cultural initiatives, media projects, professional networks, and community platforms. Its value is clearest when the project serves several African countries or wants an Africa-focused identity without choosing one national extension.
When does .africa.com make more sense than .com?
Choose .africa.com when an explicit African association helps visitors understand the project’s market, audience, or purpose. Choose .com when global neutrality and a shorter, more conventional address matter more. The trade-off is stronger regional meaning with .africa.com versus broader familiarity and typically simpler branding with .com.
How quickly is .africa.com registered, and how long does registration last?
Registration requests are handled on a first-come, first-served basis, and the name is secured only after creation is completed. The applicable registration term is confirmed with the order. Keep renewal enabled or renew before the displayed expiration date to maintain control of the domain.
How do I transfer a .africa.com domain to host.yt?
Disable the domain’s transfer protection at your current registrar, obtain its authorisation code, and provide that code when ordering the transfer to host.yt. The process may take several days. Transferring does not alter the existing expiration date, so the domain keeps its current registration timeline.
