Requirements for Registering a .co.zw Domain in Zimbabwe
To register a .co.zw domain, applicants must supply accurate information identifying the individual, company or organisation that will own the domain.
For existing domains, particularly when requesting a domain transfer, ownership verification or changes to registration details, we may require the exact information originally used to register the domain.
Important for Existing Domain Owners
The original registration details may be required for a transfer or ownership update. If your details have changed, inform JomeTech Hosting so the correct verification procedure can be followed. Do not supply invented information or register a customer’s domain under someone else’s name without authorisation.
Documents Required for .co.zw Domain Registration
The Zimbabwe Internet Service Providers Association (ZISPA) administers registration procedures for .co.zw domains. Supporting documents may be required to confirm ownership and authorisation.
For Companies and Organisations
Companies and organisations should prepare:
- An authorised registration request on company or organisation letterhead.
- The complete domain name being requested.
- The name of the nominated registrar.
- Confirmation of acceptance of the applicable ZISPA terms and conditions.
- The name, position and signature of an authorised representative.
- Any additional registration or ownership verification documents requested.
For Individual Applicants
Individual applicants should prepare:
- A signed domain registration request.
- The requested domain name.
- The name of the nominated registrar.
- Identification documentation required under the applicable registration procedure.
- Confirmation of acceptance of ZISPA’s terms and conditions.
For official policies and requirements, visit the ZISPA website.
How to Register a .co.zw Domain in Zimbabwe
Step 1: Choose Your Domain Name
Select a short, memorable domain name that reflects your business, brand or organisation. Avoid complicated spellings and unnecessary characters.
Step 2: Check Domain Availability
Visit the JomeTech Hosting domain registration page and search for your preferred domain name. Availability does not guarantee registry approval.
Step 3: Provide Domain Owner Information
Supply accurate ownership details, including the full name, company name where applicable, physical address, contact number, email address and business activities.
Step 4: Submit Required Documents
Provide the applicable registration request and supporting documentation for ownership verification.
Step 5: Complete Your Order
Review the registration details, choose an available payment option and complete your order.
Step 6: Configure Nameservers and DNS
Ensure the domain has correctly configured authoritative nameservers. JomeTech Hosting can assist with DNS configuration.
Step 7: Registry Processing and Activation
Your registration request is reviewed for completeness, eligibility and technical compliance. Once approved and delegated, the domain can be connected to your website or business email service.
Nameserver and DNS Requirements for .co.zw Domains
A .co.zw domain must have properly configured authoritative nameservers. ZISPA’s technical requirements generally call for two to four operational nameservers containing consistent DNS information.
For customers using JomeTech Hosting’s DNS services, the nameservers are:
JomeTech Hosting Nameservers
ns1.jometechhosting.com
ns2.jometechhosting.com
If you use another web hosting provider, you may configure your domain to use that provider’s nameservers, provided the required technical conditions are met.
Important: Changing nameservers without preserving the necessary DNS records may interrupt your website, email or other connected services.
How to Transfer an Existing .co.zw Domain
If you already own a .co.zw domain through another provider, you may request to transfer its management to JomeTech Hosting.
Before initiating the transfer, prepare:
- Your complete domain name.
- The domain owner’s original registration details.
- The existing registration email address.
- Details of the current registrar.
- Current nameservers and DNS records.
- Any required authorisation or release documentation.
Transfer procedures may require the existing registrar’s release and verification by the registry.
Note: Transferring a domain between registrars is different from changing its legal owner. Ownership changes require a separate verification process.
Visit the JomeTech Hosting domain transfer page for assistance.
Can I Register a .co.zw Domain Without Web Hosting?
Yes. Domain registration and web hosting are separate services.
You can register your .co.zw domain now and purchase website hosting later. You can also register your domain with JomeTech Hosting while using another hosting provider.
When you are ready to launch your website, you can connect your domain through the appropriate DNS settings.
Can I Use My .co.zw Domain for Business Email?
Yes. A registered .co.zw domain can be connected to compatible business email hosting services.
Examples of professional addresses include:
- info@yourbusiness.co.zw
- sales@yourbusiness.co.zw
- accounts@yourbusiness.co.zw
- support@yourbusiness.co.zw
Professional email addresses help businesses communicate consistently using their own domain. Email hosting is a separate service unless included in your chosen package.
