Domain registration & transfers
Claim the name before somebody else.
Search it, register it, and have it recorded in your name rather than ours. Including CIPC and ZARC transfers, which have their own paperwork we handle for you.
Extensions
Which ending, and why it matters.
The extension is a signal about who you are. Here is what each one says to a South African customer, and when it is worth paying for more than one.
The default for a South African business, and the one customers type by instinct. If you register only one thing, register this.
Reads as international. Worth holding alongside your .co.za if you export, or simply so a competitor cannot take it later.
A continental signal, increasingly used by businesses trading across borders. Distinctive while most of the good names are still available.
For non-profits, associations, industry bodies and NPCs. It sets the right expectation before a visitor has read a word.
Historically technical, still useful for infrastructure, platforms and anything where a .com has long since gone.
Short and brandable. Good for a product name or campaign, less good if your customers are likely to type .com out of habit.
Pricing depends on the extension and the registry, so we confirm the exact figure together with availability, in writing, the same working day. No renewal surprises and no transfer-out fees.
Why through us
A domain is an asset. It should be yours.
Too many businesses discover, years in, that their domain sits in an agency's account and their leverage sits with it. That does not happen here.
Registered in your name
You are the registrant. We are listed only as the technical contact, which means you keep control of the asset even if you never work with us again.
Renewals actually watched
An expired domain takes your website and your email down together. We monitor renewal dates and chase you about them rather than letting one lapse quietly.
DNS handled properly
Mail records, verification records and subdomains configured correctly the first time, so your email lands in inboxes instead of spam folders.
Transfers
CIPC and ZARC transfers, handled end to end.
South African domain transfers carry paperwork that catches most people out: registrant verification, authorisation codes and a registry process with its own timetable. We manage all of it.
- We identify the current registrar and registrant on your behalf
- Authorisation and verification handled with the registry directly
- DNS replicated before the transfer so nothing breaks at cutover
- Your website and email keep running throughout the process
- Confirmation in writing once the registrant record shows your name
