Domain name guides: common questions
Should I choose .co.za or .com?
If your customers are in South Africa, a .co.za signals a local business and is usually cheaper. If you sell internationally, consider a .com, or register both.
Can I transfer my domain without downtime?
Yes. If your hosting and DNS stay the same during the transfer, your website and email keep working. Our transfer guide covers the steps.
Who owns my domain name?
The registrant named on the domain controls it. Make sure your own name or business is listed, not your web designer's.
