Hotcake:Bulletproof domains & offshore hosting — save up to 44%Claim a slot

Register a .africa domain name

.africa is the continent's own top-level domain. It suits brands, NGOs and media that sell or operate beyond a single country while keeping a clearly African identity.

When .africa is the right choice

Choose .africa when your audience spans several countries and a single country-code domain would be limiting — pan-African startups, continental NGOs, media outlets, conferences and export businesses all fit. If your customers are almost entirely in Cameroon, .cm usually communicates better.

What is included

  • Free WHOIS privacy where the registry permits it
  • Full DNS management with Cloudflare proxy toggles
  • Transfer lock and expiry reminders
  • Works with our hosting, or with DNS pointed anywhere else

Availability and pricing

Because .africa is younger than .com, plenty of short exact-match names are still free. Current pricing appears in the search results as soon as you check a name; registrations are annual and renew at the standard rate shown before you pay.

Frequently asked questions

Is .africa restricted to African organisations?

Registration is open, though the extension is intended for those with a genuine connection to the continent. Standard registrant contact details apply.

Can I use .africa with email?

Yes. You can create mailboxes on your hosting account or point MX records to any external mail provider.
