Dot CF, also known as Dot CrossFire, is an initiative of the Societe Centrafricaine de Telecommunications (SOCATEL, headquartered inBangui) in partnership withFreenom(previously known as Freedom Registry).
The domain was made available forregistrationfree of charge on Freenom's website, regardless of whether the individual who registers the domain has any connection with the Central African Republic. Exceptions include "high value"domain names,which includetrademarkdomain names for mostFortune 500companies, and common dictionary terms. Potentially valuable domains which are fewer than 4 characters were also marked "High Value". The same applies to other domains offered via Freenom, such as.tkand.ml.
The.cf registry allows the creation ofemoji domain names.
Following Freenom's lawsuit withMetaand its settlement in 2024,[1]it is unclear who will take up registration of the domain, as Freenom announced it would be exiting the domain business.
