Your co.za domain and hosting questions, answered.

A domain name is your address on the internet, like yourbusiness.co.za. Customers type it to find your website, and it powers professional email like [email protected]. Without one you are renting visibility from social media platforms. Full guide: what is a domain name?

R99 a year with us, and renewal costs the same R99. Other extensions: .org.za R109, .com R249, .net R269, .africa R289. The full table lives on our domain price guide.

Yes. A domain works on its own, register it now to secure the name, point it at a Facebook page in the meantime, and add hosting whenever you are ready to build the website.

It is South Africa’s commercial internet space: “co” for commercial entities, “za” for South Africa (from Zuid-Afrika). It is managed by the ZA Central Registry and it is the extension South African customers recognise and trust.

Registration is usually live within an hour. If you point the domain at hosting or email, that DNS change can take a few hours to reach every network, a day at the outside.

Hosting is the computer where your website’s files live and get served to visitors. Your domain is the address; hosting is the building. Plain English explainer: domain vs hosting.

Distance is speed. Every hosting plan includes an enterprise Cloudflare CDN that serves your pages from edge locations in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban, so they reach South African visitors from down the road, and page speed affects both customer patience and Google ranking.

The installer does it in one click from your control panel, and if that click scares you, WhatsApp us and we will do it with you on the spot. Same day, either way.

Beginner (2 sites, R99.99/m), Pro (4 sites plus a free .co.za domain, R199.99/m), Guru (6 sites, R299.99/m) and Genius (8 sites, R499.99/m). All plans include cPanel, free auto SSL, 24/7 support and free migrations, compare them on the WordPress hosting page.

Rands, always. Every price on the site is in ZAR and that is exactly what your card or EFT gets charged. Exchange rates are our problem, not yours.

Yes, 30 days on hosting, the website builder and SEO tools. If you are not happy, we refund you. Domain registrations cannot be refunded because they are live registry entries the moment they are created.

From your client portal, any time, no phone call required. Monthly services stop at the end of the billing month. Your domain stays yours until its expiry date even if you cancel hosting.

SSL is the padlock in the browser, it encrypts traffic between your visitors and your site. You need it: browsers mark sites without it “not secure” and Google ranks them lower. Every hosting plan we sell includes it free.

Yes, we migrate WordPress sites free, files, database and email, and your site stays live during the move. WhatsApp us your current setup to get started.

Step one is always the domain: search your business name and register it before someone else does (R99). Then decide how to build: WordPress hosting for full control or the website builder for drag and drop. Stuck at any point, WhatsApp us, that is what the button is for.

Same day. Domain registered within the hour, hosting login the same day, and a one-page website live by tonight if you use the builder. The record is under two hours, door to door.
