Domain registration means choosing and booking a unique website name (like yourwebsite.co.za or yourbusiness.com) so that no one else can use it. This lets you create your own website and email address using that name.

Think of your domain name like the street address where you or your business “live” on the Internet. Registration is usually for one year or more, and you pay a fee each year. As long as you keep paying, you own the domain name and can keep using it.

You can register your domain name through us, which means you pick a unique name that only you can use (like yourwebsite.co.za or yourbusiness.com). We help guide you through the whole process to get your website online.
