.africa Domain Now Available on GoDaddy for Global Users

Registry Africa, the official operator of the .africa top-level domain (TLD), and GoDaddy, a global leader in domain registration and web services, have announced that the .africa domain is now accessible on www.GoDaddy.com. This milestone aims to enhance Africa’s digital presence while meeting the growing international demand for stronger connections with the continent.

GoDaddy’s extensive global customer base—including business owners, organizations, and entrepreneurs—can now easily register and manage .africa domains, streamlining access to this key digital asset. The initiative is designed to empower individuals and businesses looking to establish or expand their online presence in Africa’s fast-growing markets.

“Having GoDaddy as our Registrar increases our market reach and puts .africa at the top shelf for users to access,” said Lucky Masilela, CEO of Registry Africa.

This development aligns with the rising global interest in Africa’s digital economy, driven by the continent’s young population, growing internet penetration, and vibrant startup ecosystem. The .africa domain, a symbol of regional identity, serves as a valuable tool for businesses seeking to localize their digital footprint.

Industry experts emphasize that strategic collaborations can drive transformation, foster digital innovation, and boost cross-border investments across Africa. This partnership emerges amid rapid technological expansion, highlighted by the significant surge in mobile internet adoption throughout sub-Saharan Africa.
