What Is a Domain Name?

DOMAIN = your address yourbusiness.co.za
HOSTING = your website’s home The account that stores your site.
EMAIL = your business identity hello@yourbusiness.co.za
Domain vs Hosting
DOMAIN
Your address
HOSTING
Your website and email
A domain name does not automatically include a website. Add hosting when you’re ready to put your website and email online.
Add Web Hosting — R79/monthA domain and hosting work together
A domain is your address on the internet. Hosting stores the website and email services connected to that address.
A local .co.za identity
A .co.za name gives your website a recognisable South African address. Choose one that suits your business name and audience.
Other familiar extensions
Consider .com, .net or an appropriate .org.za name for your purpose. Availability and registration requirements depend on the extension.
Register a new domain
Search for an available name, review the registration and renewal charges at checkout, and pay. Your domain is registered automatically after successful payment.
Domain RegistrationTransfer an existing domain
Ask us to review the domain’s current provider and transfer requirements. A transfer changes the registration provider, not necessarily the website files.
Domain TransferKeep your current registrar
You can connect a domain registered elsewhere to WH4SA hosting using the appropriate DNS settings. Check email records before changing anything.
cPanel HostingCreate your business email
Use the domain for professional email addresses. You need hosting or an appropriate email service behind those addresses.
Email HostingHow domain registration works
Start with a clear name, then check that it is available and suitable before registering it.
-
1
Choose a short, memorable name
Aim for a name that is easy to say, spell and type. Avoid confusing spelling and check whether similar names are already in use.
-
2
Search and choose your domain
Check availability online, choose an available name and review the registration and renewal charges at checkout.
-
3
Pay and register automatically
Enter your registration details and complete payment. Your domain is registered automatically after successful payment. Then connect your website and email.
Your domain does not include a finished website
A registered domain reserves the address. A hosting account provides the environment for your website and email, and you supply the website content.
Choose HOST to set up your own tools or use SiteJet, BUILD for a prepared WordPress starting point, or SELL / E-COMMERCE for a prepared WooCommerce environment.
If your domain already handles email, plan the DNS changes before connecting new hosting.
Your Business Deserves a Professional Email Address
Make a stronger impression with email on your own domain.

Professional business email

Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions? We’ve got answers.
Can you tell me whether my domain is available?
Yes. Search for your preferred name to check live availability in our domain checkout. Choose an available domain and complete payment; registration is processed automatically after successful payment.
Where are the domain prices?
.co.za registration is R119/year, renewal is R119/year and transfer is FREE. See the domain price table on this page for all listed extensions. Check availability and review your order before paying.
What are the conditions of the free .co.za annual hosting offer?
One new .co.za registration per qualifying annual hosting order. Available with HOST, BUILD or SELL / E-COMMERCE when 12 months of hosting is paid upfront. First-year registration only. Renews at R119/year. No cash or account-credit alternative. Excludes transfers, renewals, existing domains and multiple domains. No additional annual hosting discount.
Do I have to transfer my domain to use WH4SA hosting?
No. You can keep the domain with your current registrar and connect it to your hosting using the appropriate DNS settings.
Does a domain transfer move my website and email?
Not by itself. Domain registration, website files and email are separate parts of your setup. Plan each part before making a transfer or DNS change.
Why choose a .co.za domain?
A .co.za address is familiar to South African visitors and can make your local business identity clear. Choose an extension that fits your audience and the purpose of the website.
What should I keep track of after registration?
Keep your contact details accurate, protect your account access and make a note of renewal arrangements. Check that your website and email continue to use the intended DNS records.
