You can register a .co.za domain on its own for R89/yr at Allanux Web. But when you take a web hosting plan from R99/mo, the same domain registration is included free — saving you R89 in the first year. You also get free SSL certificates, free WHOIS privacy, and a complete reliable hosting service with daily backups. For small businesses, freelancers, and anyone building a website in South Africa, the hosting package is the better value. Unlike free web hosting services that limit your bandwidth and plaster ads on your site, a proper hosting plan gives you full control over your online presence.
Your free domain and web hosting plan gives you everything to launch a professional website. Install WordPress with one click for a blog or business site. Use WooCommerce for an online store. Build a portfolio, a company landing page, or a professional email address like info@yourdomain.co.za — all from R99/mo. Every plan includes the Plesk control panel, website builder, and Softaculous app installer with 400+ applications.

Yes. The domain is registered in your name and you own it completely. After the standard 60-day transfer lock period, you can transfer it to any other registrar using your EPP/auth code. Domain ownership is separate from hosting — even if you cancel your hosting, the domain is yours for the registration year.
A .co.za domain signals geographic relevance to Google's local search algorithm. For searches on google.co.za, a .co.za website typically ranks higher than an equivalent .com hosted elsewhere. If your audience is primarily South African, a .co.za is the strongest domain extension for local SEO. Many businesses register both .co.za and .com — the .co.za for local traffic, .com for international reach.
All four Allanux Web hosting plans include a free .co.za domain: Starter Cloud (R99/mo, 1 website, 10GB), Plus Cloud (R129/mo, 5 websites, 25GB), Turbo Cloud (R249/mo, 10 websites, 50GB), and Business Cloud (R369/mo, 20 websites, 80GB). The free domain applies to new registrations on annual or monthly billing.
The free domain included with hosting plans is a .co.za registration. For a .com domain, you register it separately at R299/yr. If you need both, register your .co.za free with hosting and add the .com as a standalone domain — total cost is just R299/yr on top of your hosting plan.
No. The entire process — from domain registration to hosting setup — is guided through checkout. Once active, the Plesk control panel lets you install WordPress with one click, create email accounts, and manage DNS without any coding.

Yes. Every hosting plan includes email accounts on your domain — create addresses like info@yourdomain.co.za, sales@yourdomain.co.za, or any name you want. The Starter Cloud plan includes 10 email accounts; higher plans include 25 to 75 accounts. If you need email only without hosting, standalone email hosting starts at R69/mo.
If you cancel within the refund period, the domain registration cost may be deducted from your refund. After the refund period, the domain is yours for the full registration year regardless of hosting status. You can point it to another hosting provider, park it, or transfer it to another registrar.
