Does my hosting plan include a free .co.za domain? Print this Article
Short answer: yes, if you choose a Standard or Advanced hosting plan. The free part is the first registration. Basic doesn't include a free domain.
Which plans include it
Web Hosting Standard and Advanced. Renewal is R99 a year.
How to claim it
- In the client area, open Services, then Order New Services.
- Choose Standard or Advanced.
- When the cart asks about your domain, choose to register a new domain and search for your .co.za.
Good to know
- After the first year, the domain renews at the normal .co.za rate. Your renewal invoice shows it.
- If you plan to change to Basic or cancel the hosting, open a support ticket first and we'll confirm what happens to the domain.
- Note your domain's expiry date in your own diary.
If it still doesn't work
If the cart doesn't show the domain as free on a Standard or Advanced plan, don't check out. Open a support ticket with the plan and the domain name.
To send us the right details first time, see "How do I open a support ticket, and what should I include?".
Quick questions
Is the .co.za free on Basic? No, only on Standard and Advanced.
