Restores can be processed in realtime. A restore is possible within 5 days upon deletion. Please use the command RestoreDomain.

[edit] Domain Activation

After registration, the .AF registry requires that the registrant activates the domain via the email that they will send to the registrant email address. If this is not done within 21 days, the registry will delete the domain without refund.

Restore Process

To restore a domain as a RegistrarOC customer, you simply have to execute the RestoreDomain command. HEXONET directly forwards the restore request to the registry, which performs the restore in real-time. As soon as the restore is complete, the domain will get assigned to your account with the original domain data.

Please do not initiate a restore directly at the registry (e.g. using the registrar webinterface). All restore operations must be performed through our system.
