About the .co.za Domain Registration
A .co.za domain is your business's address on the internet, the yourbusiness.co.za that customers type in and that your email addresses end with. This product registers a .co.za name for one year for R200, and we register it in your name, not ours. That matters more than it sounds: the person or business named on a domain controls it, so when you register through us the name stays yours, whoever builds or hosts your website in future.
Before you order, check that the name is still free on our domain checker. It asks the official .co.za registry directly and answers in a few seconds, and if the name is free you can press Buy now there: the domain goes straight into your cart and on to checkout. If you add this product from the shop instead, type the exact name you want in the order notes at checkout, for example yourbusiness.co.za. Names are registered on a first come, first served basis, so if the name has been taken by the time we come to register it, we contact you before going any further.
This is the domain only. A domain on its own points nowhere until it is connected to hosting, and it does not give you mailboxes. If you want your website and email running on the new name, our .co.za annual hosting package bundles the domain with website and email hosting for R1,150 a year, or you can pair this domain with Fast Local Hosting Basic at R99 a month. If you only want to secure the name for now, perhaps while you plan a website, this product is the simplest way to do it.
A .co.za signals a South African business, which tends to suit companies whose customers are mostly local. If you sell abroad or want to protect your brand internationally, consider registering the .com version as well, so nobody else can take it. Not sure which name or extension to pick? Our guide on how to choose and register a domain name walks through it, or send us a quote request and we will advise honestly.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a .co.za domain cost? +
R200 per year. The registration renews annually, so you pay R200 each year to keep the name. JWD is not VAT registered, so no VAT is added.
Whose name is the domain registered in? +
Yours. We register the .co.za in your name or your business's name, so you control it and it stays yours, whoever builds or hosts your website later.
How do I tell you which domain I want? +
The easiest way is to search for it on our free domain checker and press Buy now, which puts that exact domain in your cart. If you add this product from the shop instead, type the domain, such as yourbusiness.co.za, in the order notes at checkout. If it has been taken by the time we register it, we contact you before going any further.
Does this include hosting or email? +
No, this is the domain only. For a website and email on the name, choose our .co.za annual hosting package, which includes the domain, or add Fast Local Hosting Basic separately.
