.CO.ZA Domain Registration & WHOIS

The .CO.ZA domain extension is South Africa's premier and highly successful commercial second-level domain, managed by the ZA Central Registry (ZACR). Launched in 1992, it has grown to become the largest and most widely registered domain extension on the African continent, hosting more than 1.3 million active domains. Registration is open to any individual or business globally, without local presence requirements. It serves as the absolute standard for commercial activity, digital business, and e-commerce across South Africa and the wider Sub-Saharan region. It requires a minimum label length of 2 characters and supports up to 63 characters. It does not support IDN characters, meaning only standard English characters are allowed. Registration is completely open and unrestricted globally to individuals and organizations.
