Domain Information

About AF Domains

.af is the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Afghanistan, introduced to provide a digital identity for Afghan individuals and businesses. This domain extension is managed by the Afghanistan Network Information Center (AFNIC), ensuring that it serves the unique needs of the local internet community. .af domains are popular among local businesses, NGOs, and government entities, making it a symbol of national pride and digital representation.

The .af domain not only facilitates local operations but also contributes to search engine optimization (SEO) for Afghan websites. By using a local domain, businesses can improve their visibility in local search results, driving more relevant traffic to their sites and helping them connect with their target audience effectively.

Protect Your Brand With AF

Securing a .af domain is essential for businesses looking to establish and protect their brand in Afghanistan. Registering your .af domain not only safeguards your online presence but also prevents competitors from using your brand name. It's advisable to register variations of your domain to protect against brand dilution and ensure that your customers can easily find you online.

International AF Domains

The .af domain extends beyond Afghanistan, serving as a gateway for international businesses aiming to connect with the Afghan market. With the potential support for Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs), .af domains can accommodate diverse languages and scripts, enhancing accessibility for a broader audience. This global reach allows brands to establish a presence in Afghanistan while appealing to both local and international customers.
