Domain Name Search and Register

A domain name, e.g. www.your-domain-name.co.za is a website address that people will use to find you on the Internet. Domain names are used as an "address" to locate businesses, organizations, or other entities on the worldwide web.

A great benefit of using your own domain name, is that regardless of how many times you change your website hosting provider, your email and website address will always remain the same.

Registering your domain name now, ensures that you own the Domain Name from here on, as it may not be available when you need it.

Once it is registered, the domain name is yours, provided the annual Domain Renewal Fees are paid.

You can park the domain, use it, sell it, or lease it, to other individuals or companies.
