Frequently asked questions
Is HOSTAFRICA ICANN-accredited?
Yes. HOSTAFRICA is on the ICANN list of accredited registrars, so it can register generic extensions such as .com directly with the registries.
What is HOSTAFRICA's IANA ID?
664. The IANA registrar ID appears in the registrar field of a domain's public record, so it shows which registrar a domain is with.
What other names does HOSTAFRICA operate under?
Its accreditations are also held as Host Africa (Pty.) Ltd.. Domains registered through any of them can show those names as the registrar.
Does HOSTAFRICA have an API?
Not one that account holders can use. API keys are issued in the Domain Reseller area, not to ordinary hosting/domain customers. HOSTAFRICA domains come into Lemon Domains by paste or CSV import instead.
