.NG Domain Benifits, Price, And Registration

Before now, the .com domain names have been widely preferred by many internet users due to its popularity and the fact that it’s one of the first domain extensions to exist. However, today, the reverse is the case. Many people are beginning to understand that there are other domain extensions that’ll serve them better than the .com extension, depending on some critical factors. One of such domain extensions is the . NG domain extension.

What is .NG Domain?

The .ng domain is the domain extension for Nigeria. It is the country code top-level domain (cctld) for Nigeria as a country and is one of the most popular domain extensions in Africa. As of 2019, there were over 120,000 .NG domains registered.

.NG domains include and are not limited to .ng, .com.ng, .org.ng, .edu.ng, .gov.ng, .mobi.ng and many more. Each variation is used according to specific requirements, and some are open domains, while others are closed domains that can only be acquired with extra documentation or special permissions.

The Nigerian internet space is fast developing, so having a .NG domain for your business is the right decision to make if you wish to stay ahead of your competitors. It’ll make your visitors know that you’re a business operating in Nigeria, and they could trust and choose you.

Why Register .NG Domain Names?

If you’re a business or organization with Nigeria as your sole target market, then we recommend you register a .ng domain name. Even if you have a global website and do not intend to design a customized website for your Nigerian audience, you can redirect traffic from your .ng domain to the global website. Doing business with a .ng domain shows you value your Nigerian customers.

When it comes to local results, Google gives a high preference to country level domains because the search engine believes they have the most relevant result. If you have a local business, having a .ng, .com.ng or any other .nd extension variance gives your website a competitive edge on Google Nigeria. Better ranking means increased traffic which consequently means more sales and revenue.

If you’re an internet enthusiast, you should know by now that short names are very easy to memorize and this is great for your business. The problem then is that almost all the short and good names in .com and other international top level domains are already taken. .NG extension gives you an opportunity to register many short and easily brandable names.

If you’re a Nigerian citizen, company or organization operating in Nigeria, it’s only typical to show your Nigerian identity online too. Other countries’ domain extensions like .uk, .au, .fr, .de etc are all popular because the website owners in the respective countries prefer their country’s domain extensions to the international TLDs. 

When we work together, we can achieve this popularity for our country too. With the .ng being popular, we can push for Nigerian websites to be hosted in Nigeria. This will enable us develop more intern exchanges and keep Nigerian Internet traffic local.
