Cheap domains in South Africa, explained
How much does a domain cost in South Africa?
A .co.za domain costs R99 a year at Cheap Domains for Sale. A .com costs R249, a .africa costs R289, a .org.za costs R109 and a .net costs R269 a year. You pay in rands and the price you register at is the price we quote you upfront, check our domain price guide for the full table.
Why is a .co.za domain so cheap here?
We keep our overheads low and register directly through a ZACR accredited registrar, so we do not need to inflate the price. Cheap does not mean cut-rate: you get the same .co.za domain you would get anywhere else, with DNS management, auto renewal reminders and WhatsApp support included.
