NIC.ZA is intended for use by ZADNA to provide basic information about the .ZA namespace, including SLDs, Registry Operators, Registrars, Policies, Procedures, DNSSEC information and nameserver infrastructure.
.ZA is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for South Africa, delegated according to the two-letter codes in the International Standard ISO 3166-1, which is an identification label that is assigned for a particular country. It is administered by the .ZA Domain Name Authority (ZADNA).
ZA supports a second level domain (SLD) structure which means that domain names can only be registered under an SLD e.g. yourname.gov.za or yourname.net.za. ZADNA decides which SLDs should be added to .ZA, which current SLDs should be reviewed, and the entities that should be entrusted with operating the SLDs.
A country code extension, like .za, helps identify your geography, and helps localise your operation for potential customers in South Africa.
If your domain name that ends in “.za” is available you have a list of over 460 accredited registrars, from which you can choose one to help you get set up.
The .za domain has adopted the DNSSEC protocol helping you protect the integrity of your website - also protecting the privacy of your users.
First impressions count! Unique e-mail addresses that is specific to your business is easier for customers to remember - and more professional.
