What is a .ng domain?

.ng is the country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Nigeria, managed by NiRA (Nigeria Internet Registration Association). It is the most trusted domain extension for Nigerian businesses and organisations.

Do I need a Nigerian address to register a .ng domain?

No. OneNet Servers, as a NiRA-accredited registrar, can register .ng and .com.ng domains for individuals and businesses worldwide, not just those based in Nigeria.

What is the difference between .ng and .com.ng?

.ng is the premium, shorter extension — ideal for brands and well-known organisations. .com.ng (and .org.ng, .gov.ng etc.) are second-level domains that signal a specific sector or entity type. Both are NiRA-administered.

How long does .ng domain registration take?

Most .ng and .com.ng registrations complete within 5 minutes of payment. NiRA validation is automated for standard registrations.

Is WHOIS privacy available for .ng domains?

Yes. WHOIS privacy is included at no extra cost on all .ng and .com.ng domain registrations through OneNet Servers.

Why .ng matters

A Nigerian domain signals more than a location. It signals legitimacy.

Nigerian customers, institutions, and partners recognise a .ng or .com.ng domain immediately. It tells them you are registered, local, and serious. Google treats ccTLDs as geographic signals — .ng helps your search presence in Nigeria specifically.

NiRA accreditation

Why it matters who registers your .ng domain.

NiRA (Nigeria Internet Registration Association) is the official registry for .ng domains. Only accredited registrars can register them directly — without the delays and markup of a non-accredited middleman.

OneNet Servers is NiRA-accredited. You register directly. No layers.

“Registering our .ng directly through an accredited partner removed the usual friction.” — Chinedu E.
