The O carries words like Office, Outlook and Operations. An opening with ambition. It's easy to spell out: Open Access Transport, for example, or Office Agency Tools. Clear over the phone: Oh. Ay. Tee. .co.za: an ending that stays in the mind.
Unambiguous. No hyphen, no spelling it out.
Sound. Spoken: Oh. Ay. Tee.
Open. An abbreviation describes nothing which is exactly why it can carry anything: new divisions, partners, regions.
Short. 3 characters: fits on every sign, every business card, every app icon.
How does buying oat.co.za work? You agree on a price with the owner. The owner then sends you payment details and transfers the domain once payment is received. The transaction takes place directly between you and the owner.
Can I secure the purchase? Yes. Arrange an escrow with the owner. We then hold the money until the transfer.
How long does the transfer take? Usually a few days after payment. There is no auth code for this extension: your registrar requests the transfer and the current owner acknowledges it (transfer ack).
