Check .CF domain availability, review the current Central African Republic ccTLD status, search multiple names in bulk, or request a transfer review for an existing .CF domain. Because standard public .CF registration channels have changed, treat this page as a status and planning page rather than a guarantee of immediate new registration.
Managing multiple domains or looking for supported alternatives? Upgrade account level for bulk search and reseller pricing across eligible TLDs.
.CF is the Central African Republic country-code domain. It was historically known for broad public use, but current public registrar and reseller notices indicate that new .CF registrations and some management operations may be closed or unsupported through standard channels. NiceNIC helps buyers review availability, transfer feasibility, DNS needs, and active alternatives before committing a brand or campaign to .CF.
Add funds and pay for domain services using supported crypto options such as USDT, BTC, ETH, and LTC. Automated crypto deposit recording helps account balances update quickly after successful confirmation, with no extra NiceNIC processing fee for automated deposits.
NiceNIC provides real human support, not only scripted replies. Our team can review your domain needs, explain practical options, and give account-level, transfer, bulk registration, and reseller suggestions to help your domain business grow.
NiceNIC does not take arbitrary action against domains. Abuse reports are reviewed based on available evidence, policies, and registry requirements, with domain owners guided to review, fix, or explain reported issues where appropriate.
Manage .CF together with 2,500+ domain extensions from one NiceNIC account, including country-code, generic, and new domain extensions. This helps businesses, investors, and resellers build global domain coverage more efficiently.
NiceNIC supports 47+ website languages, creating a multilingual registrar experience for international users and teams. This makes domain registration, renewal, transfer, account management, and support easier across different markets.
For hosting providers, agencies, platforms, and domain resellers, NiceNIC supports reseller API access for domain registration, renewal, transfer, DNS, account-level pricing, and custom nameserver services.
DomainTools lists 26,103 .CF domains in its current TLD-count snapshot. This section explains .CF market scale, how .CF compares with selected African and former free-registration ccTLDs, why current registry status matters, and why public .CF premium sales data should be handled conservatively.
DomainTools current TLD-count snapshot for .CF.
.CF share of 392.5M total domain registrations.
Total domain registrations across all TLDs in Q1 2026.
This chart compares .COM with major domain categories using Q1 2026 domain-name-base data, while separately showing the current .CF count snapshot for visibility. .CF is a ccTLD, so it is part of the ccTLD category rather than an extra addition to the total market.
The practical point for buyers is not only whether a name looks available, but whether the registry and registrar channel can support new registration, renewal, transfer, DNS changes, and long-term domain management.
.CF is the country-code domain for the Central African Republic and can be relevant for local-market, regional, institutional, or country-related projects.
.CF was historically used globally, including through free-registration models, but public notices now indicate that new registrations or management operations may be closed or unsupported through many standard channels.
Businesses, agencies, hosting providers, and resellers should compare .CF with supported alternatives before using it for campaigns, client projects, or long-term brand infrastructure.
Reliable public long-term .CF growth history is limited, and the registry channel has changed. This module uses current count snapshots for .CF and selected African or former free-registration ccTLDs instead of inventing a growth curve.
Public .CF premium sales data is limited. For this page, NiceNIC only displays completed sales when the exact domain name, confirmed amount, and public sales reference can be verified. No qualifying .CF sales examples were available for this chart during page preparation.
A Central African Republic project, an existing .CF domain owner, a brand protection team, a hosting provider, and a reseller platform do not face the same .CF questions. Start with the domain status, then decide whether to use .CF or choose a supported alternative.
Review whether .CF is currently available for the intended organization, website, or regional project before building the brand around it.
Confirm renewal, DNS, contact, or transfer feasibility before making changes to an existing .CF domain.
Protect client projects by confirming whether .CF can be supported before launching websites, email, SSL, or campaigns.
Use NiceNIC reseller services to compare supported TLDs and avoid sending customers into unavailable or unstable registry workflows.
If you already own .CF domains elsewhere, transfer decisions should not be based only on one renewal invoice. Check transfer eligibility, ownership access, billing reliability, support response time, API needs, and long-term domain management.
Paste multiple .CF names, remove duplicates, review the count, and continue to bulk registration. This is useful for domain investors, brand teams, agencies, hosting providers, and resellers.
Enter one name per line, with or without .CF. The tool removes duplicates and prepares a clean list for bulk registration.
If your business sells hosting, websites, SaaS, agency services, or brand protection packages, NiceNIC reseller APIs can support domain registration, renewal, transfer, DNS, and account management.

Short answers for buyers who need to confirm .CF availability, current registry status, existing-domain management, transfer review, bulk search, payment, or reseller/API support before continuing.
A .CF domain can be relevant for Central African Republic-connected projects, existing .CF domain owners, agencies reviewing older domains, brand teams, and resellers comparing short ccTLD options. Because new .CF registration availability has changed, check current status before building a project around the extension.
Public registrar and reseller notices indicate that new .CF registrations are currently closed, not allowed, or unsupported through many standard channels. You can start with the .CF status search, but do not treat a visible search result as a guarantee of successful new registration.
IANA lists .CF as the Central African Republic country-code top-level domain managed by Societe Centrafricaine de Telecommunications, also known as SOCATEL. Current commercial availability can still depend on the registry channel and registrar support.
Public registrar rule tables commonly list .CF labels as supporting letters, numbers, and hyphens, with domain length and hyphen-position rules. However, syntax eligibility does not mean new registration is currently possible if the registry channel is closed.
Yes. You can search one name on this page or prepare multiple names for bulk domain search. Bulk search is useful for agencies, brand teams, hosting providers, and resellers comparing .CF with supported alternatives before registration.
.CF transfer availability depends on the registry process, current registrar, registrant details, authorization-code availability, and whether transfer operations are currently supported. Start from the domain transfer page and request a review before making DNS or registrar changes.
Yes. NiceNIC supports automated crypto deposit/payment options for supported assets such as USDT, BTC, ETH, and LTC. After successful processing, the account balance can be credited automatically for eligible domain services.
WHOIS privacy availability depends on registry rules and the specific TLD. You can review NiceNIC domain privacy options, but .CF registrants should still provide accurate registry-required contact information where the registry requires it.
Yes. NiceNIC supports bulk domain management, reseller API integration, and global TLD coverage, making it suitable for agencies, hosting providers, developers, and platforms that manage domains at scale.
Register a new .CF, transfer an existing domain, or upgrade your account level for bulk registration and reseller API use.
