Ownership
- The domain must be registered in the business name, not a supplier's
- Keep the registrar login yourself
- Use a business email address as the registrant contact
- Set auto-renew and diarise the expiry date
Choosing .co.za or .com
A .co.za signals a South African business and is usually cheaper to maintain. A .com suits businesses trading internationally. If both are available and affordable, register both and redirect one.
What hosting must provide
- SSL included
- Daily backups you can actually restore
- Uptime monitoring
- A clear route to export your site if you leave
Pixel Forge hosting and care
Our optional hosting and care plans are listed on the Pricing page. They are month to month — you are never locked in, and the domain stays yours.
