What’s a Domain Name — and Why Does It Matter?

When you get a website, one of the first things you’ll need is a domain name. But what is that, really?

🧠 What is a Domain Name?

It’s your website’s address on the internet.

Just like your physical shop needs a location, your website needs an online address people can visit.
👉 Example: www.yourbrand.co.za

🛒 Why Is It Important?

It makes you look professional.
No more long, messy links like yourbrand123.wixsite.com. A clean domain shows you mean business.

It builds trust.
Clients are more likely to click, buy, and refer if your link looks legit.

It’s easy to share.
Put it on your WhatsApp bio, flyers, packaging — anywhere.

It helps with Google.
A proper domain helps your site get found when people search online.


💰 Do I Have to Buy a Domain?

Yes, but it’s affordable — usually around R90–R120 per year for .co.za.

TshweSites can register one for you as part of your package. No stress!


🔍 Tips for Choosing Your Domain:

  • Keep it short and easy to spell

  • Use your business name if possible

  • Avoid numbers and dashes

  • Try .co.za if you’re SA-based — it feels local and trusted
