Professional Domain Services
Secure the right domain name for your business, brand and online presence
Hozit helps businesses register, renew, transfer and manage domain names with DNS configuration, email setup, SSL support and local technical assistance.
Service Overview
Professional IT support for growing and established organisations
A domain name is the foundation of a professional online identity. It is used for websites, business email, customer portals, online stores, cloud services and marketing campaigns. A clear and memorable domain helps customers find, recognise and trust an organisation.
Domain registration involves more than purchasing a name. The domain must be registered in the correct owner's details, renewed on time, connected to the right nameservers and protected from unauthorised changes or accidental expiry.
Hozit Domain Hosting provides domain registration, renewal, transfer and DNS management services to South African businesses, professionals, organisations and entrepreneurs. We support common local and international extensions, including .co.za and .com, together with selected industry and country-specific domains.
We help clients choose suitable domain names, confirm availability, register domains correctly and connect them to websites, email platforms and cloud services. Existing domains can also be transferred to Hozit for centralised management.
Our service is designed to reduce technical complexity. Clients can manage domains, hosting, email, SSL, DNS and website support through one provider instead of coordinating several separate suppliers.
Business Challenges
Common IT problems we help solve
Incorrect ownership details
Domains registered under the wrong person, developer or supplier may become difficult to control later.
Expired domains
Missed renewals can interrupt websites and email and may result in the loss of the domain name.
DNS misconfiguration
Incorrect records can make websites unavailable, stop email delivery or break cloud services.
Transfer difficulties
Missing authorisation codes, locked domains or outdated registrant details can delay transfers.
Email authentication problems
Missing SPF, DKIM and DMARC records can affect mail delivery and increase impersonation risk.
Brand impersonation
Unregistered variations of a business name may be used by third parties or competitors.
Fragmented management
Domains spread across multiple registrars make renewals, billing and technical support difficult to control.

How do I know whether a domain is available?

Who owns the domain after registration?
The registrant listed in the registry record is the legal domain holder, subject to registry policies. Hozit recommends using the correct client or company details.
Can Hozit transfer my domain?
Yes. Existing domains can be transferred where registry requirements, authorisation and account status allow.
What is an EPP or transfer code?
It is an authorisation code used by many registries to approve the transfer of a domain between registrars.
Will my website go offline during a domain transfer?
A properly managed transfer normally does not require downtime if nameservers and DNS remain unchanged.
Can I use my domain for email?
Yes. The domain can be connected to hosting email, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace or another supported email platform.
What are nameservers?
Nameservers identify the DNS service responsible for managing the domain's records.

Can Hozit manage my DNS records?
Yes. We configure and maintain supported DNS records for websites, email, cloud services and verification.
What happens if my domain expires?

Can you renew my domain automatically?
Renewal arrangements depend on the account and payment terms. Hozit provides renewal notices and managed renewal support.
Can I change the owner of a domain?
Yes, where registry rules permit. Ownership changes may require supporting documents and approval.
