How Do I Register a .co.za Domain?

Domains · 1 views

Registering a .co.za domain is quick and doesn't require any special paperwork for most individuals and businesses.

  1. Search for the domain name you want to make sure it's available.
  2. Provide your contact and registrant details (name, email, phone number, and for businesses, your company registration details if you want it registered in the company's name).
  3. Pay the registration fee - .co.za domains are typically registered for 1 year at a time and renew annually.
  4. Once payment clears, the domain is registered in the ZA Domain Name Authority (ZADNA) registry and you can start pointing it at your hosting.

Tip: Try to register any obvious variations of your business name (and the .com version too, if available) so competitors or opportunists can't grab them later.
