Happy that the system is humming along nicely, sad that, as a consequence, I missed its second birthday last month.

The rollout has started. Coza domains are now available from as little as R35.

Now he and everyone else can. Read on to find out how.

More virtualized servers at [[SpinUp.co.za http://www.spinup.co.za]] here in South Africa but what about 'regular' web hosting/email providers that work with externally hosted domains?

Google's scalable cloud application server for Java, Python and Google Go.

I asked Uniforum why.

But how does one find expiring domains in the first place?

So, when it comes to SEO I rely on expert advice and until recently most SEO gurus preached the importance of keyword rich domains (KRD). However, is the latest update to Google's search algorithm to change all that?

Today let's take a look at 2-letter, 1-letter and number domains. Are there any such .co.za domain names left to register?

I checked and the results are in.

I often see users looking for names such a shop.co.za, money.co.za etc. Sorry, these domains are long gone. It's time for this site to offer a name spinner.

Apparently search engines and Google in particular love blogs and who doesn't want Google's love? Tue, 16 May 2017 19:14:11 GMT
