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.

MyAFRINIC Portal: For IP Resource Members at https://my.afrinic.net.

For more information on using these tools, please visit our support pages: https://afrinic.net/support/whois/manual https://afrinic.net/support/whois

We appreciate your patience as we resolve this issue.
