For the record... it is google that automatically change people using site to .com.ng.... they just want us to have our own unique signature since the site is coming from nigeria... Make i hear say linda will ever buy domain

teeowl:
Why do Americans (USA) prefer .com to .us - the answer you get is the answer you are looking for.

fxbot:
but .com.ng is cheaper now. Why can't we still embrace it?

kelliazy:


Whichh plateform is that sir,all the hosting company I know charge higher when the .ng is added

fxbot:
lol.. I can get one for 1300

erico2k2:

Def not with what comes with mine bro

fxbot:
NIRA hasn't been doing their jobs as they should. In the UK, people prefer .co.uk to .com more than 60% of the time.

slightlyMad:


imagine selling .ng for as high as 5 million naira back then

i learnt it now sells for 15k+ which is still too high for an ordinary local .ng
haba

fxbot:
nope! Remember US is the internet and .com came into existence before .US.

Why do UK folks prefer .co.uk to .com? Why do Australians prefer .com.au to .com? Even Indians have started embracing their .in

teeowl:
Both .com and .us came into existence in 1985

check this two articles

Nigeria is a tainted name on the web.

Blame the scammers.

Use .com to beat the odds, unless you are not a businessman but a patriot.

THE HIGHEST PURCHASED .NG WAS 7K DOLLARS BUT .COM WAS 16M DOLLARS AND COUNTING.

fxbot:
lol. Linda is one greedy b*itch!

be careful when searching for domain name on whogohost, as usual Naija people always want to play a fast one on people. i discovered that any time i seach for a nice name on whogohost.com 1 week later someone from their office will grab it before you do. picture below its an evidence of my claim. i searched for a domain name (bingo.com.ng) 3 days later it was taken by one Collins Adetuberu who work in whogohost office.

so guys my advice is, if you are not ready to pay for the domain name under 24hrs don't even think of searching for it in Nigerian domain sellers. eg web4africa or whogohost.

Lols...heard her domain is already bought and the person is asking for millions.

DrMuzungu:
Over past 16-17 years of being actively involved in internet, web etc... I never had a single problem with .com .net .org and such TLDs which could not be solved within minutes. I would register a domain under my own national TLD (other than .NG) only if it absolutely necessary. Same stands for .NG

Who do you ask for help if your quite busy site suddenly goes offline due to the DNS issues at 4:45 AM, if it is on any .NG TLD? The answer to this question is the answer to the original post.

she made a mistake...

1. She should have acquired the .com long ago.

2. She shouldn't have gone to the person directly. I have extensive knowlegde of domain business. What she should have done was to contact the person through proxy.

3. She is being myopic if she sees no reason to own her .com which caters for her source of income name but prefer to spen 24Million Naira for Range Rover.

One of the US presidential contestants paid $100k for his name. Just for campaign use, let alone one that could bring business to Linda is being ignored.

fxbot:
I have scanned the web and only a very few domains are live on .com.ng or .ng.

Why aren't we embracing our own brand of extension like it is obtainable in UK, Australia, South Africa etc?

ubiquitousade:

it is because a .ng domain is more expensive than the .com or .com.ng.
check out the hosting service providers and compare the prices.

BrainnewsNg:


.com is google friendly than any other domain in the world.
