.cf domain extension

.cf is the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the Central African Republic. It is managed by Societe Centrafricaine de Telecommunications (SOCATEL), the country's state-owned telecom operator. The domain is open for registration to anyone, with no specific residency or eligibility restrictions. Over the years, .cf was promoted as a free domain offering by Freenom, making it popular worldwide for short-term and casual websites. The registry is operated by Centrafrique TLD B.V., based in the Netherlands, while SOCATEL remains the official sponsor. Registration services are available at dot.cf. The domain was delegated on April 24, 1996, making it one of the older African ccTLDs.
