ICANN Registrar: za-domains for anybody

Cologne, 12.10. 2004. ICANN accredited registrar Secura announces today,
that the company is accepting the registration of za-domains.

The co.za-domains are the domains of South Africa. The co.za-domains belong to the popular domains in
Africa.

You cannot register at .za. If your name is not available at co.za, you can also register at org.za.


The com-domain is best for websites that target international markets, while .co.za-domains are best for South African webpages or those with a strong South African reference. This is so because surfer are used to, and you may lose a part of your target group if you deviate from the expected Top Level Domain.

Even if you should own a com-domain, it is advisable to register also a .co.za-domain as well. The za-domains are available on a first-come-first-serve basis.

There are no specific requirements for registering za-domains. A local presence or registered company in South Africa is not a requirement for a co.za name.

ICANN accredited registrar Secura can register a za-domain at once, if the domain name is free.
