A survey of BizCommunity shows that the South African extension .co.za, is responisble for 60% of all domain name registrations on the African continent. The other 57 countries, are responsible for the remaining 40% of the registrations. The South African domain seems to be the domain of choice, when someone decides to register an African domain name.
However if we take a look at the global domain name registrations, we notice that Africa isn’t doing well. Of the 108 million names registered worldwide, less than 1 million are African domain names, 820,273 to be exact. Of these 820,273 African domains, South Africa is responsible for 492,264 registrations.
