Many webmasters and website owners have voiced their frustrations with Uniforum’s outdated domain name registration procedures. Uniforum is the company in charge of the co.za domain administration.<\/p>\n
Uniforum currently requires new website registrants to complete a basic *.txt file to register new domains which must then be mailed to coza-admin@co.za in plain text format.<\/p>\n
One techie had enough of this process, and set up a new service to make it easier for local users to register a co.za domain name with Uniforum.<\/p>\n
“I know that many have had troubles in registering co.za domain names with that pesky txt file that need be completed all the time. I tried my hand at developing an online system where you can register co.za domain names by completing an easy online form,” he said.<\/p>\n
Similar systems are available through web hosting companies like Hetzner, but this service is not affiliated with any company and is provided free of charge to the public.<\/p>\n
“With our services, users can now register their own co.za domain names directly from the COZA registrar with no middle-man fees! Your annual domain registration fee of R50-00 will be payable directly to the registrar,” the Cozareg website states.<\/p>\n
“Users are also in a position to update or delete their domain names using our services at no costs, hassle-free.”<\/p>\n
Users who don’t have their own name servers have the option of paying a small fee to use name servers provided by Cozareg.<\/p>\n
