The .co.za top-level domain (TLD) is primarily intended for entities that have a connection to South Africa. Here are the specific requirements for registering a .co.za domain:
- Eligibility: Registrants must be South African citizens, non-citizen residents, or registered businesses in South Africa.
- Business Registration: Businesses applying for a .co.za domain must provide proof of registration with a South African company registration authority.
- Local Presence: A local presence is required, meaning that either the registrant must reside in South Africa or the business must be registered there.
- Industry-Specific Usage: There are additional SLDs under .za for specific industries, such as .org.za for non-profits or .net.za for network providers.
