Africa

Africa's internet landscape has experienced explosive growth over the past decade, driven by mobile connectivity and increasing investment in submarine cable infrastructure. The continent's ccTLDs reflect its 54 nations, from .za (South Africa) — one of the most established African domains — to newer registries serving emerging digital economies like .ng (Nigeria), .ke (Kenya), and .gh (Ghana). Many African ccTLDs are managed by national telecommunications authorities or dedicated registry operators. Internet penetration varies widely across the continent, from over 80% in North African countries to under 20% in parts of Central and East Africa, creating significant growth potential for domain registrations in coming years.
