Due to excessive requests on the WHOIS web interface https://www.afrinic.net/whois, the proper function of the service is severely impacted.
We are exploring measures to restore the service to its normal operation.In the meantime, we encourage using the WHOIS command-line client or the email method.
You can get the installation files at https://ftp.afrinic.net/db/
IP Resource Members can use https://my.afrinic.net to make updates.
Further WHOIS support material can be accessed here: https://afrinic.net/support/whois/manual , https://afrinic.net/support/whois.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to resolve this issue.
