Find something unique that you can use with a dot com.

You may not be able to afford dot ng because it's a bit on the high side.

You could go for hiphopblog.com if you have a global audience in mind.

Cheers.
if you said. Ng is expensive what will you say about. Org

.com is the surest. Never you use a domain that point to a certain place only.

Checkout my website www.brainnewsradio.com which from a glance you can never know its origin..

I will advice you to go for .com

But, can i know what niche you are going for?

Baba this is a wrong choice. It's either you go for cctld or .com
Hiphop.ng or hiphopnigeria.com
You're right, I didn't observe there was nigeria after hiphop, so there is no need to have 2 representation of nigeria.

Hiphop.ng would be best (I hope his major audience are Nigerians)

Hello webmasters!
I wanted to register a domain name for my blog but it has been taken already. I contacted the owner because the site is listed for sale and he told me to bring $1500 which I can't afford.
Now am considering registering other close alternatives that are available and would like you to choose in terms of which will be more easy to remember by my readers, easy to pronounce, etc.

Wanted to register hiphopnigeria.com b4 (not the real name).
Now I am left with
A. hiphopnigeriang.com
B. hiphopnigeria.com.ng
C. hiphop.ng
D. hiphopnigeria.ng
E. hiphopng.com
F. recommend any other domain name
Please. Kindly help me choose from A-E if you were in my shoes and why you would go for your choice.
Note: hiphopnigeria is not the name of the blog. I just used it as an example. But it's very similar in name, structure and industry to my proposed blog.
Thanks.
Just thinking of hiphopng.com

Guys it's best you read the thread before commenting on it. OP just used hip hop as an example doesn't necessarily mean that's the real name.

Go for hiphop.ng but be quick so you do not lose it.
Re: My Proposed Domain Name Is Taken: Which One Should I Go For? by opalu: 9:32am On Jun 22, 2018
Wait a minute, does .COM not originate from USA? And does .CO.UK companies not rendering services to all the whole world? Why is it that Nigerians feel that if your company is to service a global audience you can't use .NG?
My second question is that who the heck made .NG to be most expensive? I need a name and number of that guy. I need to have some word with him or her.

Go for hiphop.ng if you're strictly targeting Nigerians, else go for hiphopng.com.

Alternatively, you can register the two.

Reading the title I thought "I hope they didn't foolishly post the domain names here for people to buy and sell back to them at a higher price." Then I opened the thread and went "bitch actually did."

Did you see where poster said hiphopnigeria.com wasn't the real name?
