Questions

The things people ask us.

How long does a .co.za registration take?
Registration is immediate. The domain appears in your dashboard straight away and resolves globally within roughly five to fifteen minutes once DNS propagates.
Do you charge more to renew than to register?
No. The price you see on the pricing grid is the price you pay every year. If a registry raises its wholesale fee we tell you before your renewal date rather than after.
Can I transfer a domain away later?
Any time, at no charge. Unlock the domain in your dashboard, we email the authorisation code, and you are done. We do not hold domains hostage.
What do I need to register a .capetown domain?
Nothing special. Unlike some geographic extensions there is no local presence requirement, so anyone anywhere can register a .capetown name.
Do you offer hosting as well?
Yes. Shared hosting, WordPress hosting and a lightweight static site host, all on local infrastructure. You can add hosting to any domain from the same cart.

Your name is probably still free.

Check it before someone else does. It takes about ten seconds and costs nothing to find out.
