.ZA ccTLD
.ZA is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for South Africa, delegated according to the two-letter codes in the International Standard ISO 3166-1, which is an identification label that is assigned for a particular country.
.ZA is administered by the .ZA Domain Name Authority (ZADNA).
.ZA Domains
ZA supports a second level domain (SLD) structure which means that domain names can only be registered under an SLD e.g. yourname.gov.za or yourname.net.za. ZADNA decides which SLDs should be added to .ZA, which current SLDs should be reviewed, and the entities that should be entrusted with operating the SLDs.[/vc_column_text][section_25_base fn_1=”Moderated SLDs” fn_2=”These SLDs are only open to designated group/s and as such, require applicants to meet set eligibility requirement/s.” fn_3=”Un-moderated SLDs” fn_4=”Un-moderated SLDs accept domain name applications without imposing eligibility requirements.

This kind of protection means that the .ZA namespace can be trusted. To achieve this goal, ZADNA has an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) process that is intended to allow aggrieved parties to lodge disputes of .ZA domain names, and have their disputes resolved in a faster and more cost- effective way than courts of law.
A domain name dispute is a dispute regarding a registered domain name. Such a dispute is between a complainant and a person who registered a domain name (i.e. registrant).
According to the ADR regulations, the basis of a domain name dispute can either be an abusive or an offensive registration.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][section_3_accroding][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content_no_spaces”][vc_column][section_8_base fn_1=”#f8f8f8″ fn_2=”REPORT” fn_3=”DISPUTES”][contact-form-7 id=”594″ title=”REPORT DISPUTES”][/section_8_base][/vc_column][/vc_row]
