The ZA Central Registry (ZACR) reached the one million mark for registered domain names with the registration of www.vulindlela-hpt.co.za.
According to a statement, today's registration comes 20 years after there were only 450 registered .co.za domains by the end of 1995.
South Africa's Internet country code top-level domain is .za, while co.za is the second-level country code domain available for general use by South African and non-South African persons and entities.
ZACR CEO Lucky Masilela says: "This is a landmark day for the local Web. It clearly demonstrates that the South African ICT sector in general, and the domain name sector in particular, are on a firm upwards trajectory.
"ZACR has now joined a small group of registry operators worldwide who administer a six-figure domain space. Even by international standards, the one million mark is a fantastic and sought-after milestone," says Masilela.
The ZACR operates co.za, web.za, org.za, net.za and the city top level domains (cTLDs) of .capetown ('dotCapeTown'), .joburg ('dotJoburg') and .durban ('dotDurban).
