Good day. I need to know is there a way to register my domain with a "."? I'd like to register ma.ta.co.za or ma.ta.com but it refuses to see the ma.ta as a domain and the .co.za as the top-level domain. Any advice as to how I can register ma.ta?

What I have tried:

I tried registering ma.ta.com, ma.ta.co.za but it keeps reading the .ta as part of the extension..

You don't.
You register the base domain as "ta.co.za" and than add the "ma" as a subdomain.
The hosting service you are putting the domain up on will tell you how to do that - it varies from host to host, as does the number of available subdomains.
