About .ng

.ng is the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Nigeria. It is managed by the Nigeria Internet Registration Association (NiRA). The domain is open to registrations from anyone, but there are specific rules depending on the subdomain you choose: .com.ng is for commercial entities, .org.ng for non-profits, .gov.ng for government agencies, .edu.ng for accredited educational institutions, and .net.ng for network providers. Some subdomains have eligibility requirements, so applicants must prove they qualify. The registry URL and WHOIS server are both hosted by NiRA. The domain was first registered on March 15, 1995. Its most recent redelegation to NiRA was approved in 2009 after an earlier change in 2004.

Eligibility & restrictions

General public registration is allowed, but second-level subdomains have use restrictions. .gov.ng requires government authorization, .edu.ng needs accreditation, and .org.ng is for registered non-profits. Commercial use should go under .com.ng.
