avurlerby:.ng is a Top Level Domain TLD while .com.ng is a Second Level Domain SLD SEO? I'm not sure there are any significant differences except that .ng is shorter avurleby.ng or avurleby.com.ng 5 Likes 1 Share |

.ng is a ccTLD(country code top level domain) while .com.ng is a ccSLD (country code second level domain) to the average man trying to register a domain, this is for you. the shorter a name is, the better and easier to remember for your visitors this automatically puts .ng in that class of enviable domains, with companies like Microsoft, Google, Jumia snapping up our names, you have no excuse for using .com which is already over subscribed. oh! you don't believe me? type your surname.com and it has been registered by a Pakistani guy go for .com.ng if you can't afford a .ng .ng costs roughly 15,000 annually while .com.ng costs 1,500 naira annually (.com renewals average $12 thats 4000 naira) if you intend to start your blogging career (cos everyone i meet these days is a blogger), consider using your surname first, if not available, try your first name, before settling for your full name lets say your name is anyaebelechi chiamandachukwu DONT bother registering those long combinations because 90% of your blog visitors is guaranteed to misspell it just use anya.ng, how cool and easy to remember is that hmm? if you are a student, you can settle for anya.com.ng, not bad too! a quick survey pls. click like if you will buy .ng over .com click share if you will buy .com over .ng 46 Likes 12 Shares |

I'm not sure of the terms they use, but let me use simple English .com or .ng or .com.ng are just like suffix or say an attribute, it restricts the domain to a particular section, location or say a type of organisation. .com means communication and that's the main purpose of a website I think, but other attributes added will some sort of restriction to the website. Examples: .ng means its majorly for Nigerians or its located in Nigeria or informations and products on the sites will benefits Nigerians. .edu simply means the website is an educational website, .uk is for united kingdom, .net means its a networking site, .za is for south Africa .TV means its a telecommunication or television website and so on. I believe the website designers should be able to explain better. I stand to be corrected. 8 Likes |

.com The domain name .com is a top-level domain (TLD) in the Domain Name System of the internet. Its name is derived from the word commercial, indicating its original intended purpose for domains registered by commercial organizations. However, eventually the distinction was lost when .com, .org and .net were opened for unrestricted registration. The domain extension was one of the first set of top-level domains when the Domain Name System was first implemented for use on the Internet in January 1985 and can only be registered through any of ICAAN accredited registrars around the world. .com.ng The .com.ng domain extension is a second level domain (SLD) under the Nigeria ccTLD, .ng. Just like the .com domain extension, the original intended purpose for the .com.ng domains is for it to be registered by commercial organizations in Nigeria. 6 Likes |

I think what may have prompted this question is the price disparity between both domain extensions. There's really know difference especially as it pertains to Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Google sees both extensions as originating fr Nigeria, so any website that uses such extensions will be indexed automatically for Nigeria instead of explicitly having to add your target country in Google webmaster tools. 2 Likes |

Re: What Is The Difference Between .ng And .com.ng Domain by iykepromotions: 8:15am On May 05, 2016 |
tinkinjow:.com and .ng is ideal if you are only targeting Nigeria market, however if your product or services is universal and you want more audience, dotcom is the best to go for. in other words, among all extentions .com is still leads. 2 Likes |
