The .AFRICA registry has a short list of Premium names registered at a substantially higher annual fee level.

We therefore ask you to either contact us beforehand at Contact us, or file the application, whereafter we will check for its status before continuing. Should the domain prove to have a higher price level, we will inform you whereafter you can either go ahead with the new price level or cancel your application at no cost.
