About This Data
How many .AFRICA domains are currently expired?
We are tracking 1,088 expired .AFRICA domains across different lifecycle stages: expired, redemption, and pending delete. These numbers are derived from publicly available data and may differ from the registries' official counts.
What do the lifecycle stages mean?
When a domain expires, it typically goes through three stages. First it enters "expired" status where the registrant can still renew. Then it moves to "redemption" where recovery requires a fee. Finally it reaches "pending delete" and will be released for new registration within days.
Are there premium .AFRICA domains with higher renewal costs?
Yes. Many newer gTLDs including .AFRICA have a category called "registry premium" domains. These are short, dictionary-word, or high-value labels that the registry prices significantly above the standard rate. While you may acquire such a domain at a regular registration or backorder price, the annual renewal fee can be 10x to 100x higher than a standard domain. Always check the renewal price with your registrar before committing to a premium-tier domain.
Is this data accurate?
The statistics are based on publicly available WHOIS and zone file data. They provide a useful approximation but may not match exact registry numbers. For the most current status of a specific domain, check the registrar directly.
