Under Maintenance
We are currently experiencing degraded performance on the WHOIS web interface (https://www.afrinic.net/whois) due to an unusually high volume of requests, and we are actively working to restore normal service levels.
In the meantime, to ensure uninterrupted access, please use one of the following alternative methods:
- RDAP Service: https://rdap.afrinic.net/rdap
- MyAFRINIC Portal: https://my.afrinic.net— for IP number resource management
- WHOIS via Email
- WHOIS Command-Line Client (Linux & macOS): Available at https://ftp.afrinic.net/db/
- Sysinternals WHOIS Client (Windows): Installation and usage guide.
For additional guidance on using these tools, please visit our support documentation:

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to resolve this issue.
