Why Use the Domains.co.za EPP Platform

Compliancy & Policy Updates

When moving to the EPP (Extensible Provisioning Protocol) system required by the .co.za Registry, Registrars are responsible for ensuring their platform remains fully compliant with ongoing technical and policy updates. Developing and maintaining an in-house EPP solution can be complex, costly, and time-consuming, requiring continuous code updates, testing, and accreditation before being allowed to go live.

Registry Requirements

Domains.co.za has specialised in the domain management industry for over 25 years and as such we have the expertise and support to ensure that our Registrar EPP solution is of the highest standard and meets all the Registry requirements. Added to this the Registrar platform was developed in conjunction with the .za Registry’s input when transferring from the old Legacy System to the new EPP one.

Accreditation & Development

The Domains.co.za EPP solution removes the need for costly in-house development, lengthy accreditation processes, and ongoing system maintenance, enabling faster go-live times and reliable domain management.

With a secure, redundant, and fully supported platform that meets strict ICANN and Registry requirements, Registrars benefit from a future-ready solution that keeps pace with industry developments and new TLD opportunities.
