Registering a domain is the process of reserving a website name so that nobody else can use it while your registration stays active.
Key Points
- Start by choosing a short, memorable name that matches your brand, service or location.
- Check whether the name is available with the top level domain you want, such as .co.za, .com or .org.
- Review the registration requirements for the extension because some country-code domains have local rules or transfer restrictions.
- Add the domain to your cart, confirm the registrant contact details and pay the invoice to activate the registration process.
- Renew the domain before expiry so that you do not risk losing it or paying restoration fees.
Frequently Asked Questions

A top level domain is the extension at the end of your domain name, such as .co.za, .com or .org.
Can I register more than one extension?
