Popular extensions include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"bullet-checkmark\">.co.za\u00a0 &#8211; for businesses<\/li>\n<li class=\"bullet-checkmark\">.za &#8211; for broader country-level domain<\/li>\n<li class=\"bullet-checkmark\">.org.za &#8211; for non-commercial entities.<\/li>\n<li class=\"bullet-checkmark\">.net.za &#8211; for infrastructure providers.<\/li>\n<li class=\"bullet-checkmark\">.ac.za &amp; edu.za &#8211; for academic and educational institutions.<\/li>\n<li class=\"bullet-checkmark\">.gov.za &#8211; for government departments.<\/li>\n<li class=\"bullet-checkmark\">.nom.za &#8211; for personal names<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These domains are part of the.ZA namespace, managed by the ZA Domain Name Authority (<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/ZADNA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ZADNA<\/a>) and the ZA Central Registry (<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/ZA_Central_Registry\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ZACR<\/a>). These domains provide a secure, localized, and cost-effective alternative to global domains like .com, specifically designed to foster local economic and digital growth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why this matters:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"bullet-arrow\">DNS behavior is the same globally<\/li>\n<li class=\"bullet-arrow\">But registration and management follow local policies<\/li>\n<li class=\"bullet-arrow\">.co.za domains are widely trusted in South Africa<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So technically, DNS works the same, but it\u2019s locally managed.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"DNS_Records_Explained_Simply\"><\/span>DNS Records Explained Simply<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>These are the most important and common ones you\u2019ll use:<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_A_Record_Most_Important\"><\/span>1.
