I'm the author of this post. If perhaps you're wondering why I didn't just transfer the domain to Cloudflare, it's because they do not support the South African TLD, unfortunately.

You can find a suitable registrar from here: https://tld-list.com/tld/co.za

Also, Route53 supports it: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/co...

Thanks for the list! Personal recommendations would always help, but the reference list is useful.

It's good to know Route53 is an option - I might just make the switch tomorrow after getting some sleep.

Welcome, porkbun would have been my recommendation, but it sadly doesn't support it!

I use route53 for my site (brooker.co.za), and have had no complaints. Much nicer than dealing with uniforum's weird email templates.

Disclaimer: I work at AWS.

Thanks for the +1 for Route53, and thanks for mentioning your blog - the content looks really nifty! I'll have a read in the morning.

I’ve been happy with with https://www.inwx.com/en for many years. No-frills.

If you’re still looking for an alternative, https://dnsimple.com is an excellent engineer focused no bullshit domain registrar and they support .co.za

Thanks! I'll compare with Route53 mentioned above and decide the way forward. I was quite happy with Gandi's similar no bullshit approach for the past few years until the abrupt mailbox change last year.
