On this page, we will guide you on how to successfully create Co.Za email address accounts for your South African business.
For your email address to end with co.za, it needs a domain which is registered as a South African domain. South African domains end with co.za.
This tells clients that your business operates in South Africa, and it is here to stay. Unlike using free generic accounts like Gmail or Yahoo, where your email ends up reading like zwaneholdings124@gmail.com.
Remember, obtaining trust in the online platforms is HARD. Clients are very sceptical and easily label you as a scammer if you give them slightest reasons to do so.
Below, we will go through each step of how to create a Co.Za email address:

Step 1: Find a Perfect Co.Za Domain
The first step of obtaining a Co.Za domain for your business, is to get a domain name for your business registered. Your domain name needs to match your company name.
For example, if your company name is Mashao Cleaning Services (Pty) Ltd, your domain name needs to read like your company name. For this company name, a perfect domain name can be something like: www.mashaocleaning.co.za. This immediately tells everyone that they are dealing with Mashao Cleaning company.
To register your co.za domain, go to www.emailpros.co.za, enter your preferred domain name, then check availability.
