We would advise that a Registrar does transfer all their existing domains, as there is a large price difference between the EPP (cheaper) and the Legacy (more expensive) systems. […]
Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP) provides a simpler means of dealing with Domain Administration. It is becoming an international standard as the accepted means of communication between Registries and Registrars. In South Africa, ZARC (previously ZACR & prior UniForum) is the Registry managing the South African based .co.za domain names. ZARC had been using a proprietary ‘Legacy’ system, which requires a parsing of mailings. Although effective, it is time consuming, potentially prone to errors, and outdated in comparison to EPP. ZARC has adopted the EPP system to ease the process of dealing with co.za domains and their Registrars. […]
A Registrar has the ability to communicate directly with the ZARC (previously ZACR & prior UniForum) EPP system. All ISPs and .co.za domain holders / owners who do not wish to become Registrars will eventually be required to manage their domains through Registrars. This is due to ZARC’s current Legacy System being phased out in favour of the new EPP system. […]
