WHY REGISTER .NG DOMAINS
.ng domain names are the best choice especially
when you're targetting a Nigerian web audience.
We list why.

1. Target Nigeria
If Nigeria is your target market, then we strongly
suggest that you register a .ng domain name. If
you do not intend to design a customized website
for residents of Nigeria, you can re-direct traffic
to your (more popular?) .com/.net/.org or any
other international top-level domain (TLD).
Doing business with a .ng domain shows you are
serious about your Nigerian audience/customers.

2. Rank well on Google Nigeria
Why are we mentioning Google? Google is by far
the leading search engine on the WWW (Internet)
today. It is also the only major search engine
that has a version for Nigeria.
Google Nigeria offers it's users an option of
searching Nigerian websites only. Apart from
GeoIP location, Google's other means of
determining Nigerian websites is the .ng TLD. In
a nutshell, Google will correctly determine your
website as a Nigerian website, if you are using a
.ng domain even if your website is hosted
outside Nigeria, and does not use a Nigerian IP
address.

3. Help develop Nigeria's ICT infrastructure
Are you a Nigerian citizen/company/
organization? You should be proud to show your
Nigerian identity online too.
Other countries' domains like Germany (.de),
United Kingdom (.co.uk), France (.fr), South
Africa (.co.za) amongst many others, are very
popular, because the website owners in the
respective countries prefer their country's
domain suffix, to .com/.net/.org, amongst other
reasons. You too can help develop Nigeria's
Information / Communications Technology (ICT)
infrastructure, by registering .ng domains.
This is just a first step towards development.
With .ng being popular, we can then agitate for
Nigerian websites to be hosted in Nigeria. We
can then develop more Internet exchanges, and
keep Nigerian Internet traffic local. Other
countries have done it, we can do it, and do it
better.

4. Avoid cyber-squatting
You probably already own a very valuable brand,
that is widely recognized in Nigeria? You already
have the .com form of your domain name? You
should consider registering a .com.ng as well. If
you are not ready to create a website for Nigeria,
you can re-direct traffic to from your .com.ng to
your .com domain name.

5. Other TLDs are taken
This should be the last reason why you would
consider a .ng domain. Your business name is
Web4Africa for example? web4africa.com is
taken? Why bother about web4africa-something-
somewhere.com? Why not simply register
web4africa.com.ng?
This way, you maintain a short and easy to
remember domain name, while still targetting a
Nigerian audience, ranking well on Google
Nigeria, and helping developing Nigeria's ICT
infrastructure.
