Having a domain and hosting allows you to use the internet to promote your business, yourself or anything else you may choose.
Around the world the internet is being used as an information search utility for products, travel, hobbies and general information. Even the Yellow Pages have gone 'online'.
Everyday, more and more people are realizing the potential that the internet has to help grow their business and professionalise their image. Isn't it time you became a part of the action?
For as little on R19.00 per month you too can make your presence known!

Think of a domain as purchasing a virtual piece of land, an internet street address. Yes, that's right you can own a piece of the internet! What's even better it that in this 'virtual world' all pieces of land cost the same price, just R171.00 (pretty cheap we think!)
You can register/purchase just about any name as long as it is available; meaning someone else hasn't already purchased that name.
The domain itself is just the street address, it's simply the www.yourname.co.za/.com/.biz part. You cannot move your personal or business ideas and advertising (website) onto an empty piece of land, you needing housing (hosting). You also cannot get mail without a mailbox (email address).

Think of hosting as secure housing for your personal or business ideas and advertising.
You would show your ideas/business or products to the world through webpages and these pages together would make up your website.
The more webpages you have the larger your housing will need to be.
Building your own virtual housing would be very expensive but we can setup housing for you and you just pay us a small monthly fee; virtual rent. You also get a lot of mailboxes (email address) for free with each hosting package.
Just like renting an actual house what you put in it is entirely up to you, as long as it's not illegal. You can come and go as you please and have as many visitors as you want.

Okay so you want a domain but you've seen you can choose either .co.za or .com or .net or .biz, .info, .org, etc. They all cost R171.00 so what's the difference?

• .co.za is the South African extension. 'Local is lekker' and in this case cheaper too. Renewals for .co.za are half the price of registration and using .co.za lets other people know you are a local business.
• .com is the most widely used extension in the world and stands for commercial.
• .biz is recognized as being the extension for small businesses.
• .info is used for information websites.
• .org stands for organisation and is primarily used by non-profit organizations.
• .tv used for entertainment and multimedia websites.
• .mobi stands for mobile. Used for website designed to be viewable from cellphones.
