Setting up a new Domain

This page will take you through how to register, pay for, and set up a new domain.

General

It is preferable that the tech lead on the project sets up the domain. If this is not possible the Project Manager or Product Owner can also set up the domain.

Before you register a domain the purchase needs to be authorised by the Project Manager.

We normally buy either .co.za or .org.za or .com top-level domains. Other domains can be more expensive. Please speak to the Chief Technical Officer (CTO) before you register a special top-level domain.

Registering and paying for a Domain

• We prefer Domains.co.za for registering domains.

• Login details can be requested from senior management if you do not have access to the password manager.

• You can register a domain without paying for it at the time. The cost will be invoiced to the OpenUp account and paid accordingly by [person?] by [the end of the month?].

• If you need to pay for the domain immediately, please speak to Lailah. She will pay for it on the company card.

• If you need to pay for the domain immediately and Lailah is NOT available, get authorisation from your Project Manager, pay for it yourself, and then fill in an expense claim form.
