Choose with confidence
Is .joburg right for your idea?
Keep the project identity distinct
Use your own business or project name and explain who operates the website. A .joburg address does not make the project an official city service or give it municipal endorsement.
Consider the wider footprint
If the project serves several South African cities, a broader ending may be easier to maintain. Related city guides can help you compare a specific local identity with a wider African focus.
