Another first for DiaMatrix with new international ICANN accreditation

Johannesburg, 19 Mar 2013

DiaMatrix once again launches a first in South Africa, by becoming the first Verisign (.com and .net TLDs) and the first PIR (.org TLD) accredited domain registrar. DiaMatrix also became the second South African company to receive its international ICANN accreditation, and the sixth in the whole of Africa. Adding to the firsts, it was the first accredited .co.za registrar in September 2011.

To mark the success of its international domain accreditations, it has just launched its new domains' Web site, appropriately called: www.domains.co.za.

Having ICANN accreditation allows domains.co.za to go directly to the registry for that particular TLD, hence Verisign is the registry for .com and .net and PIR is the registry for .org domain extensions. No other ISP in South Africa has the big three accreditation, being ICANN, Verisign and PIR.

"domains.co.za is not only for domain registrations," says Wayne Diamond, CEO of DiaMatrix. "We have launched some fantastic Web site hosting packages too. Clients can install over 250 Web site applications from content management systems to blogs, as well as forums and various others." In addition, domains.co.za offers bundled discounts for clients hosting their Web site and using DiaMatrix's easy e-commerce solution, eShop.co.za.

Nowadays, data security has become of paramount importance to all companies, not just the corporate sector. With both Internet and Intranet Web environments being exposed to hackers, knowing your information is secure builds client confidence. Any application where personal information is required to be sent, or online selling of goods is undertaken, needs to be secured through the encryption provided by SSL Certificates.

domains.co.za offers SSL Certificates suited to any Web site's security needs, these include Thawte, RapidSSL, GeoTrust and Trustwave SSL Certificates from as little as R249 per annum, including VAT.
domains.co.za launched its very successful White Labelled .co.za EPP Registrar solution in March 2012, now its domains.co.za brings its Registrar products to the end-user.
