Domain Registration South Africa

Find a name for your business, check availability and review the registration terms before paying. Your domain can connect to website hosting, email or both.

Choose a domain you can keep

Check spelling, readability and potential trademark conflicts. Register using accurate details and an email address you will still control if your website is unavailable. Confirm the registrant rather than allowing a contractor to become the unintended owner.

Compare registration, renewal and transfer charges

The registration checkout provides the current retail quote. Review the registration period, renewal price, taxes and transfer conditions before completing an order. Wholesale domain-reseller rates are not retail prices, and a free transfer does not mean registration or renewal is free.

Connect DNS deliberately

Keep a copy of your existing DNS zone before changing nameservers. Website records and mail records serve different purposes. Use the nameservers supplied with your account; do not guess them from the provider's domain. Registry-specific transfer requirements may differ by extension.

Frequently asked questions

Which domain extensions can I search?

The search accepts a complete domain, including .co.za, .org.za, .net.za, .web.za, .africa and other extensions. Availability and support for the specific extension are confirmed by checkout.

Can I register a name directly under .za?

Do not assume that a bare name.za is generally available. Choose a supported namespace such as .co.za and check the relevant registry rules and checkout availability.

Does registration include a website?

No. A domain is an address. Website hosting, development and business email are separate unless explicitly bundled in your confirmed order.
