This applies for all domain names regardless of extension or registrar. However, in the majority of cases your domain name will be live within a few hours.

You don’t have to buy web hosting with us, but we strongly recommend it to take advantage of our powerful hosting platforms and seamless, trouble-free services that have all been carefully developed to work well together. You can find out more about our web hosting plans on our Web Hosting page.

Who owns the domain name after registration?

The domain is always registered in your name, or, if you’re working on someone’s behalf, your customer’s name. Therefore you have full rights and control over it; we never register customer domains in our name.

How can I pay for my domain names and do I get an invoice?

You can pay using a credit/debit card, Paypal, Stripe or Paynow. We do not accept cheque or cash. You will automatically receive an invoice by email and you can view and print your invoices at any time through your uHostAfrica Clientzone Area.

How do I renew my domain name?

Your domain name is set to renew automatically so you don’t have to worry about remembering it yourself! If you prefer not to auto-renew, you can change this from your control panel. Your uhostafrica login Area gives you the ability to manage your domain names at any time. Sometimes the domain renewal price will vary with the domain registration price because our suppliers will increase prices during the year. Don’t worry though as normally it will be nominal or we will absorb the cost as much as we can.

Can I transfer domain names at any time?

Your Clientzone Area gives you the ability to transfer most domain names at any time, whether to another uHostAfrica account or to another hosting company. Some domain name extensions will have a 60 day period where you cannot transfer in or out. We will never charge you for transferring out, as we think our domain hosting is so feature-filled that you won’t want to transfer out.
