Of about 685 take-down notices lodged with @ispa_za in 2025, roughly two-thirds were rejected, most because the site sat outside South African jurisdiction. ISPA, ZARC and ZADNA now set out a remedy for each type of .za domain name fraud. tech.africa/za-domain-fraud-…

A domain status is more than a technical code—it can determine whether a domain can be transferred, updated, deleted, or even continue resolving. For registry operators and registrars, understanding who controls each status, what actions it permits or restricts, and how it affects DNS is essential. Domain statuses sit across registry policy, registrar workflows, billing, abuse controls, DNS publication, and registrant rights, making clear ownership and processes critical. In our latest blog, we explore client and server status controls, lifecycle states, DNS-impacting holds, and the operational practices needed to manage domain statuses securely and consistently.

Nice to see the spotlight being shined on the illegal trend of call centres operating out of fixed premises using mobile numbers (and #SIMbanks) after ISPA some time ago raised the alarm about clear violations of the #NumberingPlan Regulations, 2016. mybroadband.co.za/news/cellu…

Today, we celebrate the bloggers, creators, and thought leaders who use their voices to share knowledge, champion causes, and showcase South African perspectives with the world. As your audience grows, so should your digital presence. A .ZA domain gives your blog a trusted online identity, strengthens your personal brand, and ensures your content has a home that's truly yours. Whether you're writing about business, travel, technology, food, lifestyle, or community stories, your voice deserves a place on the web that's authentic, credible, and proudly South African. #BloggerDay #DotZA
