Reliable and Affordable Web / Email Hosting

There are many advantages to registering your own domain name (www.yourdomain.co.za) instead of using the old way of having for example myname@telkomsa.net or myname@mweb.co.za.

First, you will never have to change your email address again, even if you decide to move to a new hosting company or ISP.   You could have an email address such as “yourname@yourdomain.co.za” and never need to change it again.  Even if your ISP goes under, you will still continue to use yourdomain.co.za.

Secondly, “www.yourdomain.co.za” is easier to remember than an extended website address like www.telkomsa.net/~yourbusinessname/.  Not to mention that a website with the www.yourdomain.co.za URL lends more credibility to your organization and usually receives higher ranking on search engines.  This means that search engines will like your website more and bring you more visitors.

Finally, if you do not register your domain name now, somebody else could register the name before you. This might have a huge impact on your branding.  By registering now, you will save money in the long run as resolving domain name disputes can be very expensive.

Better to own your domain name now before someone else claims it.
