Registering domains, .co.za and .com

[xrapidx]

Haven't done this in awhile. (about 15 years)

I'm looking at registering a couple of domains for an investment firm - they're currently available - I'd like to ideally use google (gmail) for the emails, who would be best to register the domains with that'll allow this?

I'm currently on the afrihost page just by chance, not sure if they give you that sort of control.

We allow clients to register domains and point them to where ever you need, we also offer free dns if you need

Google obviously you going to pay a monthly fee as well.

I'm currently hosting a couple of email-only domains for a client. .com .info and .co.za.

You can self-manage your panel or just pop me a mail or WhatsApp whenever you need changes or require support.

If you have enough domains I can offer you a similar reseller rate on .co.za domains/email hosting that includes registration.

Hi, yes we do offer Domain email packages only and you will be able to use Gmail for your emails. There are no restrictions there.

The .co.za is also free if you take it with an email package.

Thanks all - waiting for the credit card holder to come home and discuss registration of the domains, the one .com already gone, probably shouldn't have done a whois on godaddy yesterday.

I tried, but their support was extremely rude with my client's contact*.

for .com I for my personal sites I went with hostinger.com


*forgot to add, talking to domain.co.za's rep. as always businesses try to improve themselves which are great.

edit:
Please note that I was mispresented with the Domains "event" and their rep has cleared up the matted whereas I'll do the same.

Absolute garbage place to host. Moving away from them and hetzner.de to hostigner/other local.

Yeh - I hosted with them before - so was just on the site by chance. I see the domain I had with them before is also now registered to them with a hefty repurchase price.

Did you manage to get the remaining domain names that you wanted to register?

Nope - waiting for the accountant now to confirm how he wants it paid.

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some assistance regarding connecting a custom .co.za domain to a Hostinger Horizon website.

I’ve been struggling with the DNS/domain pointing process and haven't been able to get it to connect correctly. Has anyone here successfully done this, or does anyone have experience with the specific DNS settings required for a .co.za domain on Horizon? I would really appreciate any guidance or tips you could share!

 

[Jade @ Absolute Hosting]

Hello

When updating name servers for a co.za domain ensure that your domain is added to your Hostinger Horizon panel and use the name servers that they provide you with.

If Hostinger do not provide you with name servers then you'll need to use your registrar's name servers, and create the required A and cname records
