About the .com Domain Registration
A .com is the most widely recognised domain ending, and the natural choice for a business that sells beyond South Africa or wants one address that works anywhere. This product registers a .com name for one year for R350, and we register it in your name, so you control it and it stays yours whoever builds or hosts your website later.
Many South African businesses register both versions of their name: a .co.za for local customers and the matching .com so that a competitor or a cybersquatter cannot take it. Even if you never build anything on the .com, holding it protects your brand, and it can simply forward visitors to your main site.
To order, first check the name is free on our domain checker, which queries the official .com registry and answers in seconds. If the name is free, press Buy now there and the domain goes straight into your cart. If you add this product from the shop instead, type the exact name you want in the order notes at checkout, for example yourbusiness.com. Domains are first come, first served, so if the name has gone by the time we register it, we contact you before going any further.
This is the domain only, without hosting or email. For a website and professional email on the name, our .com annual hosting package includes the domain plus website and email hosting for R1,300 a year, or you can pair this domain with Fast Local Hosting Basic. For a local address, see .co.za domain registration at R200 a year. If you are unsure which to choose, send us a quote request and we will give you an honest recommendation.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a .com domain cost? +
R350 per year. The registration renews annually, so you pay R350 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 .com in your name or your business's name, so you control it and it stays yours, whoever builds or hosts your website later.
Should I register the .com as well as the .co.za? +
If your brand matters to you, it is worth considering. Holding both stops anyone else taking the other version of your name, and the second one can simply forward visitors to your main website.
Does this include hosting or email? +
No, this is the domain only. For a website and email on the name, choose our .com annual hosting package, which includes the domain, or add Fast Local Hosting Basic separately.
