Rwanda has made a record of having fully automated the process of registration for its country domain name (dotRw) – becoming the sixth country in Africa to do so.
Effective this year, Rwandans seeking registration of the .RW – the country’s domain, will no longer spend money to go to the local dealers to get a domain name, but do it on their smart devices and pay for the service using credit cards and mobile money.
“Today all .RW domain resellers are fully automated meaning that you can use any of the reseller’s platforms to register or renew your domain name from any device of your choice (mobile phone, laptop etc,” said Grace Ingabire, Chief Executive Officer of Rwanda Internet Community and Technology Alliance (RICTA).
The achievement was preceded by a 2019 training workshop for 20 of 27 dot RW accredited resellers.
The training was conducted with the assistance from Africa Top Level Domains Organization (AFTLD) – an association of country code Top Level Domain registry (ccTLD) managers in Africa.
Other countries such as South Africa, Kenya, Burundi, Nigeria and Tanzania have managed to automate their domain name services.
