DiaMatrix gets ICANN accreditation, launches new domains' website

DiaMatrix, a registered ISP specialising in domain registration, web hosting, and providing online solutions aimed at the SME community, has become the first Verisign (.com & .org TLD) and the first PIR (.net TLD) accredited domain registrar.

It also became the second South African company to receive its international ICANN accreditation and the sixth in Africa. Adding to the firsts, it was the first accredited .co.za registrar in September 2011.

To mark the success of its international domain accreditations, it has just launched its new domains' website, appropriately called www.domains.co.za.

Having ICANN accreditation allows domains.co.za to go directly to the registry for that particular TLD hence, Verisign is the registry for .com & .net and PIR is the registry for .org domain extensions. The company reports that no other ISP in South Africa has the big three accreditation, being ICANN, Verisign & PIR.

"The site is not only for domain registrations, it has launched some great website hosting packages too. Clients can install over 250 website applications from content management systems to blogs, as well as forums and various others," explains Wayne Diamond, CEO of DiaMatrix.

In addition, domains.co.za offers bundled discounts for clients hosting their website and using its easy ecommerce solution, eShop.co.za.

Nowadays, data security has become of paramount importance to all companies, not just the corporate sector. With both internet and intranet web environments being exposed to hackers, knowing information is secure builds client confidence. Any application where personal information is required to be sent, or online selling of goods is undertaken, needs to be secured through the encryption provided by SSL Certificates.

The site offers SSL Certificates suited to any website's security needs, including Thawte, RapidSSL, GeoTrust and Trustwave SSL Certificates from as little as R249 per annum including VAT.

The site launched its successful White Labelled .co.za EPP registrar solution in March 2012, now it brings its registrar products to the end user.
