Strict credit policies require us to confirm the
renewal in advance for a further 12 month period.
All domain names that include .za is managed by UniForum (Domain Authoritiy). An annual renewal fee applies should you want to keep your domain name. The fee is charged annually on 1 December.
A: There are several conditions that are required for the domain name to be properly registered and accessible from the Internet:
* The domain name has to be assigned to an IP address;
* The domain name has to be registered with the Name Servers that "know" what
IP address this domain name resolves to;
* The domain name has to be registered with the appropriate Network Information
Center (NIC) or Domain Authoritiy that keeps the database record of the domain
ownership and the Name Servers that maintain the domain's IP record.
When someone requests a connection to a certain domain, DNS servers look up
the corresponding Registry for the requested top level domain (Verisign Global
Registry Services for .com and .net; Public Interest Regisrtry for .org;
EDUCAUSE for .edu; other authorities for other TLD - top level domains).
The Registry then responds by telling which Name Servers this domain name
is registered with (list of our Name Servers you can find here.).
The request then goes to the Name Servers per the Registry's reply and the Name Servers respond with the actual IP address for that domain name. Then the browser establishes a connection with the reported IP address. It is imperative that the Name Servers listed in the domain record are configured to answer questions about the domain name and resolve the name to various addresses in different contexts, otherwise the domain name will not work.
