You might be wondering, “Who is dishing out all these co.za email addresses to all these small businesses like mine?” Well, there is a little secret that no South African website designer wants you to know. The secret is the CPanel. We will discuss all details around it, on this page.
You will get a “free” co.za email address after signing up for a hosting plan with any domain hosting company in South Africa. Here is a step-by-step process:
Registering a domain for your company, is the first step towards getting a free co.za email address. You will need to pay a fee to register a domain name, no matter what hosting company you use. Fortunately, the co.za domain registration fee is a very small fee of R90 – R150 per year. You need to choose the domain name which embodies your business name. For example, if your company name is My SA Business PTY Ltd, you would register a domain like: www.mysabusiness.co.za.
The next step towards getting your free co.za domain emails, is to go to CPanel. Well, the CPanel is the hosting interface which you will get after signing up for any website hosting in South Africa. The fee for hosting can range between R50 – R150 per month, depending on server space. Here is what CPanel looks like:
On CPanel, you will see the email section for your domain. Now, that’s where you would go and create all the emails you would like at no cost, depending on the hosting flexibilities of course. As shown below, you can create an email address and set the email password right away.
Your emails would be under your domain name. For example: hello@mysabusiness.co.za.
After creating those email addresses, you will need to make your emails accessible on your mobile phones and computers, right? For Mansa Digital Agency clients, co.za email configurations will look like this :
Other hosting providers would have their own unique settings.
Now, that the way to get a “free” co.za email address for your business. The “free” part comes only after paying for the domain registration and hosting.
