CIPC Domain Registration



CIPC (Companies and Intellectual Property Commission) in association with ZACR (ZA Central Registry) and ZADNA (ZA Domain Name Authority) recently launched their new domain registration portal which provides CIPC customers with the ability to register domain names through the CIPC website.

This guide will walk you through the process of registering a domain name with CIPC and transferring the domain name to Absolute Hosting.

Domain names registered with CIPC cannot be used to host a website nor email facilities until they have been transferred to an Accredited Registrar who provides Web hosting and email hosting facilities.

In addition, domain names registered with CIPC cannot have their Domain Name Services (DNS) records pointed to an accredited registrar or hosting provider, and must be transferred.
