Overview

Domain Name Registration (or DNS) is the same as registering a company name at the Registrar of Companies, but it's done on the Internet. Also, once you've registered your name, no one else can use it.

Here's an example using Telkom: the company name is Telkom; the domain name is telkom.co.za; the website is http://www.telkom.co.za; and the e-mail addresses are in the form of myname@telkom.co.za.

A recommendation is to try and register as many domains as possible linked to your business as this will optimise customer contact. At Telkom eBusiness, we offer domain services as well as advice on name availability and registration of .co.za (South African business and personal websites), .com, .net and .org (international websites) and .org.za domains.
