the .africa story
On Wednesday 15 February 2017 at 14:58:59 CAT the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) published the .africa geographic Top Level Domain Name (gTLD) in the root.
.africa now serves gloriously as the regional Top-Level Domain for Africa, just as .eu is to Europe and .asia is to Asia.
Main Purpose of .africa
A .africa domain name would be the perfect way to target the African continent for a website that has a pan-African audience or market.
Although all African countries/territories already have their respective Country-Code Top-Level Domains (cc-TLDs), .africa is still relevant and does not necessarily compete with the existing African ccTLDs, but instead complements them. Examples of popular African ccTLDs are: .ng (Nigeria), .za (South Africa), .na (Namibia), .eg (Egypt), .ke (Kenya) etc.
