Domains.co.za Launches Domain Protection: A Complete Add-On for Greater Security, Privacy and Performance 

Domains.co.za, South Africa’s trusted Domain Name Registration and Web Hosting provider, has announced the launch of Domain Protection - a powerful, all-in-one solution designed to enhance domain security, safeguard personal information and optimise global performance. The add-on is available on any Domains.co.za domain name for just R69.00 per year*. 

As cyber threats such as domain hijacking, data scraping and large-scale attacks continue to increase, protecting a domain name has never been more important. Domain Protection gives businesses and individuals an affordable, straightforward way to strengthen their online presence and minimise the risks of downtime, traffic loss and reputational damage. 

The Domain Protection package includes: 

*Terms and Conditions apply. Domain Name Registration not included. 

Comprehensive Protection and Performance in One Package 

Protection against unauthorised transfers 

A domain name is a valuable digital asset. Domain Protection helps prevent theft and unauthorised changes through mandatory Two-Factor Authentication on key updates, as well as a built-in Domain Transfer Lock. This ensures that no transfers or modifications can occur without the account holder’s approval. 

Faster global reach and improved reliability 

With Anycast DNS operating across 62 worldwide locations, visitors are automatically directed to the closest available network node. 

For domain owners, this delivers: 

If one node encounters an issue, traffic is instantly rerouted to maintain availability. 

Mitigation against DDoS and botnet attacks 

Online attacks can overwhelm websites and email services, leading to costly disruptions. Domain Protection helps distribute and absorb malicious traffic across multiple global points, reducing strain and lowering the risk of outages. 

Reduced redemption fees for expired domains 

If a domain is accidentally allowed to expire, recovery fees can be significant. Domain Protection customers benefit from up to 50% off redemption fees during the recovery window, helping to ease the financial burden of reclaiming a domain. 

Stronger privacy and reduced spam exposure 

When registering a domain, contact information is required. With WHOIS Privacy included, personal details such as your name, email address and phone number are concealed from public databases. 

This results in fewer spam emails, fewer unsolicited calls and reduced exposure to scams or identity misuse. 

Domains.co.za CEO, Wayne Diamond, shared the vision behind the launch: 

"A domain name is the heart of any company's brand, and cybercriminals are always looking for ways to exploit that. While we include strong security measures as standard in all our solutions, it's clear that customers are looking for an extra layer of defence. Domain Protection is our answer to this." 

For just R69.00 per year*, Domain Protection brings together security, privacy and performance enhancements in one seamless solution. 

Customers can add Domain Protection when registering a new domain or activate it at any time for an existing domain via the Domains.co.za customer dashboard.
