Local trust, continental reach

Customers trust a business they can place. A country domain says “we're here”. A .africa domain says “we serve the whole continent”. Pick one — or protect your name on both.

Cross-border brands

.africa

One name recognised from Cape Town to Cairo. Ideal if you sell online, export, or plan to grow beyond one country.

From idea to online in three steps

  1. Tell us about your business

    A sentence or two is enough: what you sell, who you serve and where. Our name ideas tool suggests names that fit.

  2. See what's free

    Each idea is checked on .africa, your country domain and .com, with the first-year and renewal price side by side.

  3. Check out and it's yours

    Add your owner details once and pay. We register the domain right after payment — or refund it automatically if we can't.

Your currency

See prices in USD, ZAR, NGN, KES, UGX or GHS. Charged in US dollars.

Privacy on

WHOIS privacy is switched on wherever the extension allows it.

No surprises

The renewal price is shown next to the first-year price, always.

Questions entrepreneurs ask

Should my business use .africa, my country domain or .com?
A country domain such as .co.za, .ng or .ke tells local customers you're based there. .africa suits brands that sell across borders. Many businesses register their name on both, plus .com if it's free, so nobody else can take it.
I haven't named my business yet. Where do I start?
Use the name ideas tool. Describe your business and it suggests short, memorable names, then shows which domains are still available.
How much does a domain cost?
It depends on the extension. Every price is shown before you buy, per year, in USD, ZAR, NGN, KES, UGX or GHS. You're charged in US dollars.
Is my personal information shown publicly?
We switch on WHOIS privacy where the extension allows it, so your home address and phone number aren't published with your domain.
What if I change my mind?
See our refund policy for the 14-day money-back guarantee and how to ask for a refund.
