What are expired .co.za domains?
When the owner of a .co.za domain does not renew it, the name does not disappear overnight. It moves through the ZACR cycle: it expires, is suspended, enters redemption (the last chance for the owner to reclaim it, at a premium), is queued for deletion and is finally released back to the public pool.
Dropped domains in South Africa, as they happen
A domain "drops" at that last step. DomainsWatch checks the registry around the clock, so a name appears on this co.za drop list as soon as we see it released. Anyone can then register it through a registrar, first come, first served. Each day's releases also keep their own page, so you can look back at what dropped on any date.
Using the co.za drop list
Browse the list, open any domain for its status history, or watch a domain for R99 to get an email the moment it changes status, including the moment it becomes available.
