ZA Central Registry (ZACR), the body that manages the co.za, web.za, org.za, net.za domains as well as the recently launched city top level domains (cTLDs) of .capetown, .joburg and .durban, yesterday (Wednesday) announced the number of co.za domain names registered has hit and surpassed the one million mark.
ZACR announced this via Twitter, adding that there are now more than 1 000 050 co.za domains active although it took it more than 20 years for co.za to hit the one million mark.
The second website to be added to the co.za domain zone was paradigm.co.za.
Subsequently, the ZACR came to manage the co.za domain in 1995.
The ZACR has also been in a bid to manage the impending .africa. But the allocation of this name by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has been held back amid a complaint by DotConnectAfrica Trust that its competing application for the domain name was not treated fairly.
