Please note the following regarding obtaining a domain...
In order to have a website first we have to register a domain for you.
The cost for the domain depends on the Top-Level Domain (TLD) that you wish to purchase.
A TLD is the suffix that appears after the final dot in a web address (e.g., .com, .org, .co.za). It classifies the website's purpose, location, or ownership.
- gTLD (Generic Top-Level Domain): Extensions like...
- .com – Commercial enterprises
- .org – Organisations, charities, and NPOs
- .net – Tech and network-related sites
- .gov – Governmental agencies
- .edu – Educational institutions
- ccTLD (Country-Code Top-Level Domain): Region-specific suffixes like .co.za (South Africa), .uk (United Kingdom), .fr (France), etc.
- Official Source: You can browse and search the complete database of active internet suffixes on the IANA Root Zone Database.
The registrar

Such a promotional domain can not be transferred within the first year except if you have paid the R197.00
costs of that domain.
Please note the following regarding hosting choice...
Now that you have a domain you need a hosting package in order to have your domain hosted at a registrar.
You have to decide what hosting package you would like.
