About .za

.za is the official country-code domain for South Africa, one of the ccTLDs delegated by IANA to a national registry across the African continent. As internet adoption across the region keeps growing, local-extension domains like .za are increasingly used to signal a genuine South Africa presence to customers, partners, and search engines alike.

Choosing a name for .za

If you're registering .za for a business or organization actually based in South Africa, keep the name closely aligned with your registered brand or trading name β€” that's the strongest use case for a ccTLD. For an international audience beyond South Africa, pairing .za with a .com version of the same name is common practice.
