Cheapest renewal over time
IONOS wins on every count here — cheapest to register at $1.00, cheapest to stay with at $4.00 a year after, and cheapest to transfer in at $3.40 too. 5 years: $17.00. No other registrar beats it on any of the three.
Renewal prices span $4 at IONOS up to $49.99 elsewhere. That's a 12.5x gap that compounds every year you keep the domain. That's under half the $49.90 median across Countries extensions — rare for this category.
.co.za is South Africa's general-purpose commercial address, and the second level most people mean when they say a South African domain. ZADNA's FAQ says co.za normally accepts registrations from both South Africans and non-South Africans, so you do not have to live there.
There is one condition worth knowing before you buy from abroad. The same FAQ says that where a non-South African registers a .za name, there is usually a requirement that the holder consents to the application of South African law and the jurisdiction of South African courts over any dispute involving the name.
co.za is one of several South African second levels, alongside org.za, net.za and web.za, so make sure it is co.za you are pricing. The table above compares what registrars charge for it, and the renewal column is the number to weigh, since it is what the name costs every year after the first.

.co.za questions
How much does a .co.za domain cost?
The cheapest first year is $1.00 at IONOS, and renewal is $4.00. Over five years that comes to $17.00, staying with that same registrar the whole time.
Why does .co.za cost more to renew?
Registrars discount the first year to win the sale, then charge the standard rate afterwards. On .co.za the renewal is 4.0× the opening price, so the advertised figure is a poor guide to what you will actually pay.
Which registrars sell .co.za?
15 of the registrars we track currently offer it. The table above lists all of them with current registration, renewal and transfer prices.
