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

  1. In the client area, open Services, then Order New Services.
  2. Choose Standard or Advanced.
  3. 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.

Is the renewal free too? No. Only the first registration is free.

Can I choose a .com instead? The free domain on the plan is a .co.za.
