.NG is Nigeria's domain extension. Even with the burden many of us will carry for running our websites on it - My question is why in God's name should it cost N15,000 to register it when a website owner can get easily get a .com for less than N2k Can someone explain to me why it should cost that much? |

Do you want more reasons? I think it's fair enough, .ly still sells for $99! |

It does not justify the price. You cannot register an established brand just because the extension is available. Time will come they will beg us to have it for peanuts. |

Yes, they will beg us for peanuts but our domain names of choice may no longer be available then. Do u remember how much a sim card cost initially? The issue is that not every business will need .ng stuff. I personally will never have a .ng domain. Although it's good to buy all extensions if u ar afraid of people cloning ur business name. |

Tell him abeg, for now things like auction.ng, travel.ng, installi.ng, masteri.ng etc are still available. I got http://ads.ng by the way, blogging Nigerian TV ads for now.... I could not have gotten ads.com, even with 150,000.00  |
