Domain FAQs

What does a .co.za domain cost at Yamahost?

R109 a year, the same as .org.za. Internationally, .com is R298, .org is R336, .net is R384 and .africa is R399 — all in Rand, all including DNS management. You're invoiced before each annual renewal so nothing lapses quietly.

Can I use a domain I registered somewhere else?

Yes. Point your existing domain's nameservers at your YamaHost account and your site and email work exactly the same. You don't have to move the registration to us unless you'd rather have a single renewal invoice.

How fast is a domain live after I pay?

ZA domains are usually registered within minutes. Global extensions like .com generally complete within the hour, and DNS changes then propagate over the following few hours.

Is there a fee to transfer a domain in?

Transferring a global domain includes a year's renewal at the standard price. ZA domains change registrar without an EPP code but do need the losing registrar's approval. Moving DNS only, with no change of registrar, is free.

Do you offer VPS or dedicated servers?

Not today. YamaHost runs shared and reseller cPanel hosting on managed Linux servers. If you need a dedicated IP and WHM control, the reseller plans from R299 a month are the closest fit — email hello@yamahost.com about anything beyond that.
