Nigeria’s leading Domain Name Registrar & Web Hosting provider, DomainKing, has announced that it has successfully completed its accreditation with Nigeria Internet Registration Association (NIRA), the .NG domains Registry.
According to the company, this new accreditation would enable it offer better control and more competitive prices to its customers for .NG domains i.e. .com.ng, .ng and other domains that end with .NG such as .net.ng, .org.ng, .edu.ng, .sch.ng, .i.ng etc.
Speaking about this, DomainKing’s CEO Karan Singh said “Nigeria is one of the fastest growing economy in the World yet it is largely underdeveloped in terms of local businesses that have their presence online. Almost all the small, medium and even large businesses in Nigeria still don’t have a website. And there are so many reasons behind this like the high costs, unawareness of the business opportunities available online, or because of lack of proper knowledge required to start a website.”
“At DomainKing we are committed to solving all these challenges by providing the solutions required to get your website online at very affordable costs,” he added. “And our accreditation with NIRA is part of our to commitment to make it easier and affordable for Nigerian businesses and individuals to get online. We believe that by creating better awareness and adoption of .NG domain names, we can help bring more people online.”
Still there are only over 60,000 .NG domains registered compared to 117.9 million .com domains registered worldwide and over 1 million .ZA domains registered in South Africa. This is a very marginal figure when compared with other Domain Registries. But this also means that lots of one-word names are still available in com.ng or in .NG. This represents a huge opportunity to get your preferred name or register a premium .NG domain.
Also the usage of Nigerian domains has increased considerably during the last one year. More and more individuals and businesses are now using .NG to brand their websites and blogs.
At DomainKing, you can register your a .COM.NG domain for just N1700, which is cheaper than the price of .com domain currently at N2250 and buy your .NG domain for N15,000.
“DomainKing offers you complete control of your domain at best prices with bundles of free services with every .NG domain including 2 Free emails, Free DNS Management to integrate with Blogspot Blogs, Free email forwarding, Free Domain Forwarding, 24*7 Support and lots more. We also help you setup your domain name for using it with your websites or creating your emails.” said Singh.
Although .com.ng domains are much cheaper compared to .com domains, many people still prefer to register a .com domain. But this trend may be changing now, with many big brands promoting the usage of .NG domain by operating their websites on .NG domains. Even Google’s free Blogspot.com blogs now redirect to blogspot.com.ng in Nigeria. This may be a clear indication for the future for .NG domains.
