About the .ng domain

What is a .ng domain?

.ng is Nigeria's official country-code top-level domain (ccTLD), managed by the Nigeria Internet Registration Association (NiRA) and sold through accredited registrars. Direct second-level registration (yourname.ng) is open to anyone and gives the shortest possible Nigerian address; the same namespace also carries .com.ng, .org.ng, .net.ng, .name.ng and restricted zones such as .edu.ng and .gov.ng.

Who is it for?

Nigerian businesses, startups, brands and organisations that want a short national address, and international companies establishing a presence in Nigeria.

Why choose it?

It is short, clearly Nigerian and available without eligibility checks. It supports local search for Nigerian customers, and our price is flat: what you pay to register is what you pay to renew.

Benefits of a .ng domain

The lowest .ng price, and it never rises

₦14,850 a year for a direct .ng and ₦6,150 for .com.ng, registration and renewal alike. We have checked the market: no lower flat price, and no first-year bait that doubles in year two.

Registered through a NiRA-accredited registrar

TK WebHosts is accredited by the Nigeria Internet Registration Association, so your domain is registered directly at the registry, in your name, with no reseller in between.

Transfer it instantly — even a brand-new one

NiRA places no transfer lock on newly registered .ng names. A .com cannot move registrar for 60 days after registration; a .ng can move the day you register it, and we never hold a domain hostage.

Local search and local trust

Search engines treat .ng as a Nigerian country domain, which helps the site appear for searches made in Nigeria, and customers read a .ng address as a business that serves them locally.

Open to anyone, no paperwork

.ng, .com.ng, .org.ng, .net.ng and .name.ng are open zones under NiRA policy: no residency requirement, no CAC or RC number, no eligibility documents. Only the government and education zones are restricted.

Lock it in for up to five years

NiRA allows registration terms of one to five years, so you can secure the name and today's price for as long as you like.

A 60-day safety net if you miss a renewal

Under NiRA's life-cycle policy the domain keeps working for 30 days after expiry and can still be renewed without a restoration fee for 30 more. Nobody else can take it or transfer it away in that window.

A formal route if someone squats on your brand

NiRA's Dispute Resolution Policy lets a rights holder have an abusive .ng registration cancelled or transferred through a single independent expert, without giving up the right to go to court.

How to register a .ng domain

Four steps, usually live within minutes.

  1. Search the name

  3. Enter your contact details

    Registrant, administrative and technical contacts: name, email, phone and address. No CAC or RC number is needed for .ng or .com.ng.

.ng domain questions

What is a .ng domain?

.ng is Nigeria's country-code top-level domain (ccTLD). It is managed by the Nigeria Internet Registration Association (NiRA) and registered through accredited registrars. A direct .ng name (yourname.ng) is the shortest Nigerian web address.

What does .ng stand for, and how is it different from .com.ng?

.ng is the two-letter country code for Nigeria. A direct .ng is registered straight under the country code, so it is shorter; .com.ng, .org.ng and .net.ng are second-level extensions below it, intended for commercial, non-profit and network use, and cost less.

Who can register a .ng domain?

Anyone. .ng, .com.ng, .org.ng and .net.ng are open zones: individuals, businesses and organisations in Nigeria or abroad can register them with no residency requirement and no CAC number. Only .edu.ng, .sch.ng, .gov.ng and .mil.ng are restricted to qualifying institutions.

Is TK WebHosts a NiRA-accredited registrar?

Yes. TK WebHosts is accredited by the Nigeria Internet Registration Association (NiRA), the .ng registry. Your domain is registered directly at the registry and held in your name; there is no reseller between you and NiRA.

How much does a .ng domain cost in Nigeria?

With TK WebHosts a direct .ng domain is ₦14,850 per year once the offer code from our Nigeria offers page is applied at checkout. A .com.ng is ₦6,150 per year. Both renew at the same price while the offer runs.

Is the .ng price the same at renewal?

Yes. Our .ng renews at ₦14,850 and .com.ng at ₦6,150, the same figures you paid to register, for as long as the offer runs. There is no first-year-only rate that jumps in year two.

What is the cheapest way to register a .ng domain?

TK WebHosts: ₦14,850 a year for a direct .ng, the lowest flat price we have found, and it renews at the same figure. Compare on the renewal price, not the first-year offer — some registrars advertise a low first year and raise it at renewal. A .com.ng at ₦6,150 is the lower-cost Nigerian address.

How do I register a .ng domain?

Search the name above, add it to the cart with your chosen term, enter the offer code, fill in your contact details and pay. Most .ng domains are active within minutes; we then set up your DNS, website and email records.

What details do I need to register a .ng domain?

A registrant name, email address, phone number and postal address, plus administrative and technical contacts (they can be the same person). No company registration number is required for .ng or .com.ng.

How long does it take for a .ng domain to become active?

Usually minutes after payment. The registry allows up to 24 hours for a new .ng to appear everywhere, and DNS changes you make afterwards can take up to 48 hours to propagate worldwide.

How do I get a gov.ng or edu.ng domain?

gov.ng is allocated to government ministries, departments and agencies through NITDA with an authorisation letter from the head of the institution; edu.ng is restricted to accredited higher-education institutions with supporting documents. Neither is sold by registrars. Businesses and organisations use .ng, .com.ng or .org.ng.

Can I get a .ng domain for free?

No. Every .ng registration carries a registry fee, so a genuinely free .ng does not exist. Offers that include a free first year usually recover the cost at renewal; our price is the same every year.

Who owns and manages the .ng domain?

The .ng namespace is administered by the Nigeria Internet Registration Association (NiRA), a non-profit registry. NiRA runs a registry–registrar–registrant model: it does not sell domains directly, and all registrations, renewals and transfers go through accredited registrars.

Can the owner of a .ng domain be traced, and can I keep my details private?

Registrant details are held by the registry and shown in WHOIS/RDAP lookups. Registrar proxy contacts can keep an individual's personal details out of the public record; ask us at registration.

Can I transfer an existing .ng domain to TK WebHosts?

Yes. Unlock the domain at your current registrar, request the authorisation (EPP) code and we complete the transfer without downtime. The transfer adds a year to the registration and is priced the same as a registration.
