Over 12,000 org.za domains to be deleted next week

Still do not think this is the best way to go about things.
 
I see webafrica.org.za is one of them. I actually have an email address with them that I use occasionally that makes use of that domain name. Sigh, Web Africa.

I'll go see where I still use it and change over to my newer ones.

*edit*
Is that list that MyBroadband linked to the ones that will be deleted or is that just all of the org.za domains existing currently?

The least they can do is prevent individuals registering eskom.org.za or treasury.org.za to prevent fraudulent tenders filling my inbox
 
The link is bad on this article
The ZA Central Registry is set to delete 12,613 org.za domain names
...
A list of affected domain names is available from the ZA Central Registry.

That link lists 19071 domain names, not 12613.

It also lists my domains for which I very recently paid domains.co.za
 
Read the article still not clear why they would need to do this?

Yeah I also contacted Web Africa and they assured me that their .org.za domain is fine. I told them to contact MyBroadband because of this article and that link list. The list appears to be incorrect.
 
What happens if you have paid to have a website designed? Who refunds this??

Why would that need a refund? A domain is different from a website. If the domain is not transferred to a proper registrar then the registry is going to delete that domain from their records. So if you have mycharity.org.za and it is not registered on, for example, domains.co.za, then the domain mycharity will be deleted from the org.za webspace. Your website, at www.mycharity.org.za will not be deleted - it will just never be found and someone else would register mycharity.org.za and they would put their site there.
