nairaland.ng like for nairaland

On a serious note, seun need to buy this domain now for future reference.

Proudly .ng

Why did they make the price high. .ng for 12k while we get .com at 4k or less.

.ng should be 500 or 1000 if they want people to promote the extension for them.

I cant buy .ng at High price and still suffer to promote it.

Believe me everybody like .com

https://pears.ourcontest.io/r5K3c0/qtM35?w=76934205&e=223561562 ...Please Nairalanders I need your vote..

Even Nairaland is .com

Nairaland.ng?

Only two things are needed to improve the Nigerian domain names patronage.
1) Serious awareness
2)Motivation.

I wish the next Ministers of Information and Communication have the required ICT exposure to work on these factors.

Anyone in kano, I need a job please...thanks

Where do u stay in kano?

.ng 13k
.com 4k

Struggling starting business in a harsh economy would think twice. .com is already standard. Why waste more money on .ng that is 2 to 3 times more expensive.

Nigeria’s domain name in cyberspace is .ng, South Africa is .za, United States is .com, and United Kingdom is .uk

https://www.akelicious.net/concerns-mount-over-africas-domain-name-registration/

United state is .us and not .com. I'm sure it has lesser registration when compared with .ng
.com is actually generic

akelicious:
The Nigeria internet Registration Association (NiRA), has raised concern over the low figures recorded in domain name registration in Africa, including Nigeria.

NiRA made the observation during the 2019 Dot NG Media College, organised in Lagos.



Addressing media practitioners during his presentation, titled: ‘Understanding the Domain Name System (DNS) Industry and Local Hosting,” the President of NiRA, Mr. Muhammed Rudman, expressed dissatisfaction over domain name registration in Nigeria and across African countries.

He stressed the need for more engagement with Nigerians and Africans in the areas of generic Top Level Domain Name (gTLD) and country code Top Level Domain Name (ccTLD) that represent a country’s identity in cyberspace.

Nigeria’s domain name in cyberspace is .ng, South Africa is .za, United States is .com, and United Kingdom is .uk

Most Nigerians and Nigerian organisations still use foreign domain names from United States and United Kingdom, thus depopulating the .ng domain name, which is Nigeria’s identity in cyberspace, and populating foreign domain names, he said.

Disturbed by the development, Rudman said there was need for enlightenment of Nigerians on the need to populate Nigeria’s domain name registration.

According to him, the global statistics of ccTLDs showed that as at April 2018, Africa had 3.3 million ccTLDs, America had 13.7 million ccTLDs, Asia had 37.6 million ccTLDs and Europe had 72.2 million ccTLDs.

According to the statistics, in 1994, global domain name registration was 30,000, but as at 2019, the figure had risen to over 351 million, an indication that the growth domain name registration is on the increase, yet in Nigeria and Africa, the growth is abysmally low.

Nigeria’s total domain name registration was put at 140,709 as at June 2019.
Rudman who expressed worries over the dominance of foreign domain names in Nigeria and Africa, and the hosting of such domain names and data outside of Africa and Nigeria, said African countries would continue to lose revenue streams from the hosting rights of domain names outside of Africa and Nigeria.

He described internet as a network of networks, joining many government, university and private computers together and providing an infrastructure for the use of email, bulletin boards, file archives, hypertext documents, databases and other computational resources.
“There are over 4.4 billion internet users worldwide out of the 7.7 billion people worldwide. We have about 351 million registered domain names globally as at June 2019, and these figures show growth of both internet users and domain names registration globally, which is a wake-up for Nigeria,” Rudman said.

Speaking on the benefits of domain name registration, the Vice President of NiRA, Mr. Toba Obaniyi, said “a domain name is a unique name on the internet that points visitors to the hosting account that serves them content.”

According to him, people can have a wider range of domains to select from when registering with the .ng extension; people can also get creative with their domains, such as drivi.ng, sleepi.ng, danci.ng, ceili.ng, just like what Google did with googli.ng and Microsoft did with bi.ng; and the registry is local, making resolution of issues easier and faster.

The Group Executive Editor, DigitalSENSE Africa Media Group, Mr. Remmy Nweke, highlighted some fundamentals of changing the DNS industry through a well-set out and thought-out structure of media engagement via professionals; conducting training sessions for media practitioners in the country, especially for those on the line of reporting/covering the DNS industry in Nigeria. He equally advised NiRA to institute a reward for excellence in DNS coverage in the country within the media.

habaja:






bros, you dont understand the dynamics thus your legit complains.

The .ng was bought at a very high price in dollars just like any other cctld domains. coupled with operational and maintenance cost.
So you could guess where the " high pricing " comes from.
gtlds were bought by companies having the resources e.g .google was bought over by... you guess right.

The more the domain registrations, the less the price (after periodic reviews).

if .ng does not suit you then go for .com.ng or .names.ng, it is cheaper there i.e 2K or thereabout.
That is what is obtainable in other countries e.g .co.uk, .co.za etc,
.co.za is 5k compared to 2k .com.ng. yet they are much higher registration than us
Want to go for .uk or .za you will pay premium.

Support .ng so that we could come to that point.

NB I am not a .ng staff or director but a registree so i understand this

cheers

Alagba, what is the difference between .ng and .com.ng ?

dontro:
How is .com USA?
Who owns .us then?

.com is universal and it's registered in America cos America owns the internet so it's theirs but .us is their official domain. But it's is not popular ok

When you are charging 15k? Indians .in domain cost just $4.99 then $9 the following years

Vulcanheph:
Stuffs like these is why each country has a minister of information to create awareness on issues like this ........our own past minister of information was only interested in telling lies, creating tension internationaly and misinformig the public...

That guy didn't look like a minister of information for Nigeria... More like minister of information on APC for Nigerians

Nigerians don't value what they have

.ng is 15k, .com is 3k and .com.ng is 1700. Do you know the meaning of the word "value"
