.capetown is a delegated generic Top-Level Domain (gTLD) in the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) New gTLD Program. The domain name was applied for by ZA Central Registry, which is also known as UniForum SA or the ZA Central Registry. This organization is responsible for managing the .za country code Top-Level Domain (ccTLD). The application was successful and the domain was delegated to the Root Zone on June 5, 2014. The primary objective of the registry is to establish a world-class registry operation for the benefit and pride of those who identify with Cape Town. The mission is to develop and position .capetown as the preferred option for individuals and businesses either based in Cape Town or with strong associations with the city and its people.
There are no restrictions on owning the .capetown domain, following the general availability on November 4, 2014. Registrations will be delegated on a "first-come, first-served" basis upon payment of the requisite fees. A limited opportunity was given to the Cape Town Municipality and the South African national government to reserve names during the sunrise phase. The registration policy is based on internationally recognized domain name registry standards and will be informed and guided by the consensus-driven policies and procedures developed through ICANN's multi-stakeholder process.
