ISAT

Can a member of the public buy a .co.za here?

Yes, on the evidence of its own storefront: a English interface, .co.za among the namespaces offered, and a ZAR price printed with its VAT treatment on 2026-10-15.

.co.za

What its page printed

"Domain Registration (VAT inclusive)": ".co.za R115 R115 Free" (registration, annual renewal, transfer).

Read from https://www.isat.co.za/products/domains.aspx on 2026-10-15. A storefront read establishes the language, the currency and the figure the page printed that day. It does not establish support quality, uptime or what a renewal will cost next year.

How the South Africa storefronts were read

ZARC's list of accredited registrars (465 entries, read in full from the registry's own table) was read on 2026-09-29, and 11 storefronts were opened from it. 1-grid and GoDaddy refused the read, and Domains.co.za, Axxess and Hostking printed no standalone .co.za price. Afrihost, HostAfrica, Register Domain SA and Absolute Hosting print .co.za in rand without VAT wording, so only xneelo and Truehost, which state VAT is included, are ranked. On 2026-10-15 the remaining 454 registrars on ZARC's list that publish a website were opened, so every registrar on the list with a published website has now been tried: 323 were read, 131 could not be, and 6 more print a comparable .co.za price.
