ANC.co.za up for grabs

[Daniel Puchert]

ANC.co.za selling for R1.4-million — but there's a catch

The ANC.co.za domain name is available to buy for $80,000 (R1.4 million), with GoDaddy brokering the premium domain name on behalf of a private seller who set the list price.

However, prospective buyers should be aware that the .ZA Domain Name Authority (ZADNA) could revoke the domain name under various circumstances.

Champ, quick!

MyBroadband requested a quote to buy the anc.co.za domain, and GoDaddy confirmed that it is currently priced at $80,000 (R1.4 million).

R6 million for hosting and supporting the ANC’s websites.

Oink oink!

Wait, the big word being used, it's hogwash.....

 

[ToxicBunny]

I'll happily broker the deal for the ANC to retrieve their domain name...

I expect R700m up front to do the deal.. great value for them.

What about anc.org.asm?

Okay. so the same individual who swiped it when it expired the first time, which prompted said governing party to register a new domain, anc1912.org, is now selling it because they hoped that the anc would just buy it back from him?

That's called domain squattering... and is very frowned upon...

That was anc.org.za. There's no reason for the ANC to have anc.co.za. There's actually no reason for most people to have a co.za and it's purely because of historical unavailability of SLDs that it's become our .com.

ZA’s domain policies are archaic. If you have a trademark then cool otherwise out of luck imho.

The ANC demands 30%.

I'll do it for R800m, with a R100m "founders fee" paid to the ANC member who successfully makes sure the deal happens!

Sorry boss, deal is already concluded... Transaction fees have been facilitated via GoDaddy so that there is no untoward financial flows that could bite one of our honourable leaders at a later date.

Domain ought to be www.anc.kak

 

[ToxicBunny]

Nobody wants anc.co.za

If it was a reasonable figure it could be fun to have to go to a page detailing all their corruption... just to watch them ree like little girls.

Ek raak nie aan kak met n 10 meter paal nie

However, prospective buyers should be aware that the .ZA Domain Name Authority (ZADNA) could revoke the domain name under various circumstances.

Step 1: Secret anc insider successfully sells the domain for big bucks
Step 2: Anc formally lodges complaint with .za and uses government pressure to get the domain back
Step 3: ?????
Step 4: Profit!

Please dont degrade the ORGASM.
The ANC didnt see that one coming either.
