Broadas, pls is ita ctually possible to buy a domain name with your regular Webhosting and doman name company, and still acquire the .Ng, i ask because i buy domain name and webhosting @ www.liquidnethosting.com and they are really good, but need 2 acquire a .ng domain name.

They are different domain names and as such will have their different CP so you can upload to the different servers. If I make a mistake here, I stand to be corrected please.

I am yet to see any host will say they will not host a particular domain unless it is stated in their terms, but what i think you can do is to ask whether the hosting plan you bought can accomodate many domains, if yes, you can just buy the .ng and still host with the same hosting plan you have but when registering the .ng remember to put the correct Nameservers given to you by your host. It good to hear that guys are beginning to embrace this .ng boom, i seriously think nitda and nira do not disappoint some of us that are trying encourage it

We'll wait until they start off by next year as said here. All service protocols, qualities and anything will be brought to book here, I promise you that because I'm really interested in it.

please guys, i have actually registered at the nira website provided here, but really whats the real process as in is it free? or i have to pay somewhere along the line and one of their requirements is verifying from the actual owners of the company website or sumthing, this is confusing cos i am making a website and i need .ng, but i got the website job from a third party, who is a friend, so how do they verify? wish u guys understand?

Has this service really started running or is anything still hanging them on the line?

No, registration is still manual for now, but it's much faster.  It's gone down to a max of 24 hours.  If you want one send me an email to domains AT netregit.com.ng

Cheers

In case anybody comes here through a search. .ng domain registration has long been automated. Please visit http://nira.org.ng and choose a registrar. Your domain registration should be instantaneous upon payment.
