.za domain names

The .za domain name ending is an abbreviation for Zuid-Afrika, the Dutch name for South Africa. At Gandi, you may only register a .za domain name if it has another domain ending — called a second-level domain name — appended to it. As such, you can buy a .co.za domain name at Gandi: this will allow you to have a sleek, memorable, and familiar domain name that internet users will easily remember. Domain registration with a .za domain name is an essential first step for selling your products or services in South Africa.

The .za domain ending has a professional connotation. If you're targeting internet users who live in South Africa, a .za domain name is a real asset for gaining credibility. Having a .za web address helps you build your brand's image and position yourself as an expert in your field or otherwise a reliable source of information.

The domain owner doesn't have to be in South Africa. Anyone can register a .za extension, whether you're an organization, business, or individual.
