Keep the name before the dot distinctive
Because the ending already names the city, repeating Cape Town before it may make the address longer than necessary. Try the business or project name on its own.

Follow the registry’s registration rules and use accurate owner details. A city name does not confer official status or permission to use another organisation’s name. Registry guidance (opens in a new tab)↗

Is .capetown right for your idea?
Help visitors find the right place
Give a neighbourhood, physical address or meeting point where relevant. A city-wide identity is useful, but it does not replace practical directions.
Explain the publisher
A city guide should make clear who runs it and how its information is maintained. The domain does not identify an official tourism or municipal service.

Questions about .capetown domains
Is .capetown part of .za?
No. It is a separate generic top-level domain.
Does it include .durban?
No. Each city ending is a separate registration.
Should I repeat Cape Town in the name?
Often the ending already supplies the location. Compare the full address for clarity and length.
What happens after I find a domain?
Add one or more available names to your basket, then continue to registration. Enter the owner details and review the registration term and total before payment. Availability is provisional until the registrar confirms registration.
Will UKC charge me automatically at renewal?
No. UKC sends renewal reminders and an invoice. You need to pay the invoice to renew; UKC does not automatically charge you. Keep your contact details current so you receive reminders.
