.AF

.AF is the official country code Top-Level-Domain of Afghanistan.

Currently we can no longer guarantee the continued renewal of .AF domain names. Please note, we are exploring potential solutions to this issue and will continue to keep you updated as soon as we have more information, but in the meantime we recommend that you investigate alternative providers to renew your domain names.

[edit] Domain Registration

Domains can be registered in Real-Time with the API AddDomain command.

The transfer has to be initiated by the gaining registrar and can be requested with the API TransferDomain command.
As soon as a domain transfer has been initiated it can either be approved ("ACK") by Registrar or denied ("NACK") by Registrar.

command = TransferDomain

REQUIRED

auth = (TEXT) | (NULL)

OPTIONAL

period = (PERIOD)
transferlock = 0 | 1 | (NULL)

[edit] Delete Domain

Domains can be deleted with the API DeleteDomain command.
There is a Deletion Restorable Period of 5 days and a following Deletion Hold Period of 14 days.

command = DeleteDomain
domain = (DOMAIN)

[edit] Restore Domain

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

command = RestoreDomain
domain = (DOMAIN)

OPTIONAL

subuser = (TEXT)
renewalmode = AUTORENEW | AUTOEXPIRE | AUTODELETE

[edit] TLD specific

[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.

[edit] RegistrarOC

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.
