Service Impact: High Load on WHOIS Web Interface

We've now resolved the incident. Thanks for your patience.

We've resolved the core issue and are currently monitoring the service to ensure stability.

We are currently experiencing degraded performance on the WHOIS web interface (https://www.afrinic.net/whois) due to an unusually high volume of requests. Our team is actively working to restore normal service levels.

To ensure uninterrupted service, please use one of the following alternative methods:

WHOIS Command-Line Client or Email: Installation files are available at https://ftp.afrinic.net/db/.

RDAP Service: A modern alternative at https://rdap.afrinic.net/rdap.
