Why move
A registry record is not a service.
CIPC assists with the domain registration only. We get your company online: renewals done on time, mailboxes set up, and a website that makes your business stand out.
| Topic | Staying with CIPC | With Ketnal Creations |
|---|---|---|
| Renewals | Yours to remember. A missed date takes the site and email offline. | We track every expiry and bill you before the deadline. |
| Mailboxes | Not offered. A free address stays a free address. | you@yourbusiness.co.za, set up on your phone and laptop. |
| DNS changes | A registry process you work through yourself. | Nameservers and records handled by us, same day. |
| Website | Out of scope entirely. | Designed, hosted and maintained if you want it. |
| Support | No account manager to call. | A named contact during South African business hours. |
| Ownership | Yours. | Still yours. We manage it, we never hold it hostage. |
How it works
Four steps. We handle three of them.
- 01
Send us your details
Fill in the form above: your name, email, phone and the domain you want to move.
- 02
We verify the CIPC record
We confirm you are the registrant and prepare the transfer request with the registry.
- 03
Approve one email
The registry emails the registered contact to confirm the move. One click authorises it.

Transfer completes
The domain lands in your Ketnal account with the same expiry date. Website and email keep running throughout.
