Emusan: What of .yahooyahoo guys? This figure isn't accurate. I am not sure I understand your point. On an altogether different note, perhaps if the process of registration in Nigeria wasn't akin to threading the eye of a needle, there would be far less money going to foreign domain name registrants. |

emmysenior: Is Nland guilty of this as well? Is Nairaland registered with the CAC? As I understand, this is a minimum requirement that has to be satisfied in to order to register a .ng domain. |

Itoroetti : Visit the web sites for any of the Accredited Registrars for Nigeria and let me know if you find much information of use. Until it is easier to execute simply transactions like this, I am afraid capital flight will continue apace. 1 Like |

You can get a .com.ng domain name for only N2,400 from Web4Africa or .ng for N15,000 as from 16th April 2013. It is not always about the price but awareness is rather low. Example: there are so many misconceptions about .ng as clearly shown on this thread. |

niyyie: You can get a .com.ng for only N2,400 from Web4Africa or .ng for N15, 000 from 16th April. Yeah, the awareness is low and the condition (CAC) good in a way but the other side (small legitimate business not wanting to register) is not good. |

In a country of over 170 million people, only 26,000 domain names were registered with NiRA at the end of 2013. So they already know rthe numbers that will register by yeat end. Thought we are still in 2013 1 Like |

The two probs wt registering .ng domain has to do wt d cost & awareness and d requirement u hav to meet b4 u can, a time lyk dt i wanted to register a domain name i tried registering a .ng but d moment i started seeing unnecessary bottlenecks, i immediately reverted back to my usual .com & .net, theyre easier, straight forward and cheap. Let NiRa ease the process of registration. |

We as a country need to redeem our image globally before talking about having a domain bearing .ng. Nigeria as a name has been blocked in some international sites and and using the .ng may likely hamper your business globally. The ealier we know this the better for us as a country. 1 Like |
