Johannesburg, or Joburg for short, is the capital of Gauteng Province in South Africa. The city has about 957,000 inhabitants and is the largest city in southern Africa. However, the capital of the country is Pretoria, about 50 kilometers from Johannesburg. The city is the economic and financial center of South Africa. About 40 percent of the country's gross domestic product is generated in this city. One of the starting points of the economic life was the mining industry in the region. Today, there are different industries that exist in the city and in its immediate surroundings. Until today, however, a number of mining companies have their headquarters in the town. There are also a number of branches of government offices and consulates in the city. The companies also have the option to use the domain extension .joburg for their websites. This is a domain extension that makes it possible for a company to indicate where it is located.

Use and meaning

Suitable is the registration of this domain extension .joburg especially for companies that can bring goods or services in connection with Johannesburg. However, the importance of the domain extension is ultimately insignificant. Especially against the international background. The reason for this is that many companies that associate their business with Johannesburg rely on an international domain extension. At best, this domain extension is chosen as an alternative or in addition if the company's registered office is actually located in Johannesburg. Due to the fact that only a few people in South Africa or Johannesburg have private access to the WWW in their homes, the use of the domain extension is usually limited to companies. However, there are also some private individuals who have registered a website with this domain extension.
