i know someone will say y nt google it bt i want one who has implemented https protocol

to give us a layman's lecture

There is nothing so special about SSL.

All you need to do is

1. Visit a vendor that sells SSL Certificate. Nairahost Nigeria sells SSL Certificates in Naira.
2. Create a CSR (Certificate Signing Request) from your hosting panel,
3. Go to the Nairahost Nigeria and Purchase the SSL that best suits your needs. We have RapidSSL, QuickSSL, and Verisign SSL Certificates .
4. Wait for the ssl order activation link from Nairahost Sales Dept.
5. Visit the activation page, and enter the CSR in the form with all the necessary parameters required and follow the instructions that is sent to your email thereafter.
6. This involves coming back to your hosting panel, and just pasting the Certificate you purchased, with the necessary keys.

If you are wondering how do we install on a sub-domain mask, such as https://secure.yourdomain.com, its nothing special. all you need to do is, when you create your CSR (Certificate Signing Request) from your hosting panel, you just create it with the sub-domain mask, that is secure.yourdomain.com, and add a CNAME record to use the sub-domain in your dns record.

Nairahost installs it for their clients for free and you require a dedicated IP to install an SSL Certificate.

@kazey, what does it take to register

myname.com.ng

what are the requirements/how much

Registering a .com.ng, .net.ng, .org.ng tld with Nairahost

1. Register for a Free Account at Nairahost


2. Click Add funds from your client area

3. Pay into Nairahost's Account with the invoice that was sent to you

4. Visit and Create a Free handle at NIRA

5. Add your domain name at NIRA once the login details has been sent to you

6. Specify or Change your Admin Contact/ handle to EO11-NIRA


7. Visit Nigerian Domain Support Desk and Enter your details.

8. It takes approximately 5 working days to get a .com.ng active

Nairahost charges 500 Naira, its an administration fee, as .com.ng is Free from NIRA

My reason was because I read on some websites you have to be in nigeria to host a .com.ng

well i guess that is great, just confirm the need to physically be in nigeria requirement


1 domain total fee = 500naira about 5, 6, 7, or $8

Yes you have to be because, NIRA calls to verify. Except you have a friend in Nigeria that would be willing to receive the call on your behalf.

only telephone number required?

Nope, with address, all i mean is, even if you use a Nigerian address, they wont approve it without a phone call.
