Reasons Why You Should Register A .ng Or .com.ng Domain Names by gerytony(m): 1:37am On May 05, 2016 |
. ng or .Com.ng domain is good when targeting audience . See reasons. Menu Domains .ng ₦15,000 .com.ng ₦2,000 .com ₦2,400 Why .ng Domains Home / .ng domains / Why register .ng domains? WHY REGISTER .NG DOMAINS .ng domain names are the best choice especially when you're targetting a Nigerian web audience. We list why. 1. Target Nigeria If Nigeria is your target market, then we strongly suggest that you register a .ng domain name. If you do not intend to design a customized website for residents of Nigeria, you can re-direct traffic to your (more popular?) .com/.net/.org or any other international top-level domain (TLD). Doing business with a .ng domain shows you are serious about your Nigerian audience/customers. 2. Rank well on Google Nigeria Why are we mentioning Google? Google is by far the leading search engine on the WWW (Internet) today. It is also the only major search engine that has a version for Nigeria. Google Nigeria offers it's users an option of searching Nigerian websites only. Apart from GeoIP location, Google's other means of determining Nigerian websites is the .ng TLD. In a nutshell, Google will correctly determine your website as a Nigerian website, if you are using a .ng domain even if your website is hosted outside Nigeria, and does not use a Nigerian IP address. 3. Help develop Nigeria's ICT infrastructure Are you a Nigerian citizen/company/organization? You should be proud to show your Nigerian identity online too. Other countries' domains like Germany (.de), United Kingdom (.co.uk), France (.fr), South Africa (.co.za) amongst many others, are very popular, because the website owners in the respective countries prefer their country's domain suffix, to .com/.net/.org, amongst other reasons. You too can help develop Nigeria's Information / Communications Technology (ICT) infrastructure, by registering .ng domains. This is just a first step towards development. With .ng being popular, we can then agitate for Nigerian websites to be hosted in Nigeria. We can then develop more Internet exchanges, and keep Nigerian Internet traffic local. Other countries have done it, we can do it, and do it better. 4. Avoid cyber-squatting You probably already own a very valuable brand, that is widely recognized in Nigeria? You already have the .com form of your domain name? You should consider registering a .com.ng as well. If you are not ready to create a website for Nigeria, you can re-direct traffic to from your .com.ng to your .com domain name. 5. Other TLDs are taken This should be the last reason why you would consider a .ng domain. Your business name is Web4Africa for example? web4africa.com is taken? Why bother about web4africa-something-somewhere.com? Why not simply register web4africa.com.ng? This way, you maintain a short and easy to remember domain name, while still targetting a Nigerian audience, ranking well on Google Nigeria, and helping developing Nigeria's ICT infrastructure.

Since I don't have much on me right now, I'm planning on getting a .com.ng domain for like #1500 and then host it in 000webhost free host. Will this be a good idea to try out or there are other better alternatives? |
Re: Reasons Why You Should Register A .ng Or .com.ng Domain Names by ClintonNzedimma(m): 7:19am On Sep 05, 2016 |
jstemmanex:depends on the Website and the ability of a website, some websites cost 15k, some are 25k some are even 500k and above, but note that the cost of website design is directly proportional to the demands of the client, ability and experience of the web designer.

alexintech:The fact is dah u can target all the countries but some people may think dah the site is just meant to be for nigerians from the domain name .ng that is for new internet users so i will advise u to look for .net or something of dah nature. Note: dah u can target all countries in the world by any type of domain either.ng,.com,.net .etc But how while selecting your target audience use "not specify" that is it.

jstemmanex: Those are the web design market spoilers... Actually, I think he just wants to hang your domain on somebody else's hosting or maybe even allocate a 400 mb space to you. Trust me, you won't enjoy nothing. My advice is, if you are serious about your business, make sure you have your hosting and design done properly and for you alone.

Nonsense.... Nigerian traffic is like a plague, and if you're hoping to make money through Adsense, then you're on a long thing, Nigerian clicks are a plague. Besides, not a lot of folks will remember the .ng I have a .com.ng blog, but I occasionally visit the .com before I remember. Put your mind at ease with a .com Dahiruhash: No, alexintech cannot target other countries. If he even uses webmaster tools, Google will inform him that due to his domain, his website is already targeted at Nigeria. Meaning he can only benefit from Google.com.ng searches. |
