Why it matters
A domain is the one piece of your online presence you own.
Social pages and marketplace listings come and go. Your domain stays with you, carries your email, and is what customers type when they want to find you again.
People can find you
A name that matches your business is easier to remember, easier to say over the phone and easier to print on a vehicle or invoice.
Email that looks like you
Move off a free mailbox to you@yourname.co.za. It reads as a real organisation, and the address stays yours if you change providers.
Search engines can index it
A domain gives search engines a fixed home for your content, and lets you target the regions and terms your customers actually use.
Nobody else can take it
Registration is first come, first served. Holding your name – and the obvious variations – keeps it out of a competitor’s hands.
Buy now, build later
The annual cost is low enough to secure the name today and add hosting, a site and an SSL certificate whenever you’re ready.
One place to manage it
Domain, mailboxes, hosting and certificates sit on one Vox account, with one bill and one support number when something needs attention.
Pricing
Domains start at R99 a year
A .co.za is the cheapest place to start. International and specialist extensions cost more, and each one is priced per year with no setup fee.

.africa

Prices exclude VAT and are charged annually on the anniversary of registration; we remind you 30 days before. The full rate card – every extension, with renewal and transfer – is on the Vox Shop.
Choosing an extension
Which ending should you pick?
The part after the dot tells people where you operate. Most South African businesses register .co.za first and add others to protect the name.
.co.za
The local default
The extension South Africans expect and search for. Registration is quick and the annual cost is the lowest.
Start here if you’re SA-based
.com
The international one
Recognised everywhere and the default when someone guesses an address. Worth holding if you sell across borders.
Add if you trade abroad
.africa
The continental one
A newer namespace, so more short names are still open. Useful if your market runs across several African countries rather than one.
Add for pan-African reach
.joburg
The city ones
.joburg, .capetown and .durban put your city in the address. Helpful for trades and services that only take work in one metro.
Add if you’re city-specific
How it works
Four steps to your own address
Social pages and marketplace listings come and go. Your domain stays with you, carries your email, and is what customers type when they want to find you again.
Search the name
Type the name you want on the Vox Shop. It’s checked against every extension we sell, and you’ll see what’s open.
Choose an extension
Take one or several. A mailbox or an SSL certificate can go in the same order if you need them.
Pay online
Card or EFT through the Vox Shop. Registration is lodged with the registry as soon as payment clears.
Point it somewhere
Use it for email straight away, or connect it to hosting when your site is ready. We’ll help with the DNS.
Already have a domain?
Bring it across to Vox
If your domain sits with another provider, you can move it without taking your site or email offline. We handle the registry side and confirm each step with you.
- .co.za and .org.za transfers are free; other extensions carry one year’s registration
- Any time left on your current registration carries over
- DNS records are copied first, so mail and web keep running
- Most transfers complete within five working days
Value-added services
What to add alongside the name
A domain on its own is an address. These three turn it into working email, a site people trust and a place to put it.
Vox Cloud Mail
Email on your own domain
Fibre delivers the lowest latency and most consistent speeds available, so the whole household can stream, study, game and work simultaneously – no buffering, no excuses.
- Unlimited mailboxes – pay for storage, not seats
- Shared calendars, address books and files
- Optional archiving, security and branding
SSL certificates
Show visitors the site is safe
An SSL certificate encrypts what people send you – enquiries, logins, card details – and gives browsers the padlock they look for before anyone fills in a form.
- Encrypts customer data in transit
- Verifies that the site belongs to you
- Removes the “not secure” browser warning
Web hosting
Somewhere to put the site
Choose a platform, build from a template or upload your own site. Hosting packages include a .co.za domain and an SSL certificate, so the name, the site and the padlock arrive together.
- Several platforms and a template library
- Includes a .co.za domain and SSL certificate
- Upgrade as the site grows
