API commands

Important

Due to sanctions affecting Afghanistan, we are no longer able to accept new registrations, transfers-in, explicit renewals and restores of .af, org.af, com.af, and net.af domains.

Existing domains under our management will not expire. Once the expiration date is reached, they will remain active on your account with the same expiration date.

If, however, you want a domain to expire; you will need to send an explicit delete command, or reach out to our support team to complete this.
