How do I register a domain name in Zimbabwe?

Most Zimbabwean businesses start with a .com, and anyone can register one online: companies, sole traders, startups and individuals. A .africa, .org or .net is just as fast, with no paperwork at all.

Step by step

1. Search for your name on our domain registration page. Short names that are easy to spell and match your business work best.
2. Add the domain to your cart. If the .com is taken, the search suggests alternatives such as .africa, .org or .net.
3. Create your client account with your name, phone number and email. Use details you keep up to date: they become the domain’s contact details.
4. Pay by card, bank transfer or mobile money. The domain is registered once the payment is confirmed.
5. Connect your website and email. Add web hosting or business email and the domain is set up for you.

What it costs

A .com is $14.93 for the first year and $17.62 a year to renew; a .africa is $20.98. See the .com, .africa, .org and .net pages, or get a domain free for the first year with any hosting plan except Starter.

What about .co.zw?

Zimbabwe’s .co.zw and other .zw domains need an application to the Zimbabwean registry, so you can’t buy them in a few clicks. Ask our team and we’ll help. See can I register a .co.zw domain?

Tips before you buy

• Register the .com and .africa of your name together if both are free, so nobody else can grab the other.
• Turn on auto-renew in the client area so the domain never expires by mistake.
• Avoid hyphens and numbers that are awkward to say out loud.
