Why choose .africa

Registry.Africa describes it as the continent's geographic top-level domain, giving the full name a pan-African rather than single-country signal.

.africa is designed for businesses, organisations, creators and diaspora initiatives whose identity or market spans the African continent.

Use your own registrant, billing and recovery details at checkout.

Clear checkout handoff

Control DNS

Best-fit uses

What belongs on .africa?

The ending should reinforce the promise in the name—not force a brand into a category it may outgrow.

01

Pan-African brands

02

Regional initiatives

03

Diaspora communities

Check the registration rules.

.africa is available through accredited registrars. The registrar determines retail pricing, and premium names, bundled offers and rights-protection policies may apply.

Compare before you commit.

Choose a country-code domain such as .ke, .tz, .ug or .rw when one national market is the primary signal, or .com for a geography-neutral brand.
