dotAfrica Africa's number one digital identifier! This process will ultimately alter the landscape of the internet forever.

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), the organisation responsible for the coordination of the global Internet's systems of unique identifiers, has launched a top level domain application process. dotAfrica is the proposed name for the African continent's generic Top Level Domain (gTLD). It is an opportunity to forge an identity that will elevate and enhance an African digital presence. The dotAfrica gTLD will bring the continent together as an internet community under one umbrella allowing e-commerce, technology and infrastructure to flourish. A truly African initiative created for Africa, by Africans.

Your domain name is the front door to your digital presenceโ€”are you leaving it unlocked?

In our latest newsletter for Cybersecurity Awareness Month 2026, the Registry Africa team dives into the global gap between security awareness and actionโ€”and why fatalism is an attackerโ€™s best friend.
We break down 5 essential habits to protect your .africa domain assets today. Read the full article below!
