How .af second-level domains work
A second-level domain sits one step below .af: instead of example.af, a name is registered as example.com.af, with com marking out one branch of the extension. We track 5 second-level extensions under .af and 5 of them have registrar prices so far.
The .af extension is managed by Ministry of Communications and IT. Who can register under each second level, and on what terms, is decided at the registry rather than by the registrar, and a few zones may be administered separately, so confirm eligibility with your registrar before buying.
A name under any of them has three labels — your name, the second level, then af — and DNS works exactly as for any other domain. Registration data is published through the .af WHOIS server, whois.nic.af. The .af registry supports DNSSEC, so zones under its second levels can be signed and validated end to end.
