"Google is aware of an issue affecting its google.co.za domain name and is taking steps to reinstate it. In the meantime, the google.com domain remains fully functional and we encourage South African users to make use of this URL instead."

Payment has just failed for my Google Workspace accounts, when I logged in I couldn’t manually process them.

Anyone know if this is related?

EDIT - working now, was obviously linked to domain

No clue what you mean.
.com does that by using your location.

 

[Moosedrool]

Also use site:.co.za

 

[leafhead]

Odd. I haven't had a problem with it.

Glad to hear that it’s resolved. Did a quick Google.co.za search on how to renew a co.za domain name and it lead me to absolutehosting.co.za
