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!
