The Nigerian Internet Registration Association (NiRA) recorded continued growth in the adoption of the .ng domain name in November, reflecting sustained interest in Nigeria’s country code Top-Level Domain (ccTLD) across various sectors of the digital economy.
A total of 17,385 .ng domain activities were recorded during the month, comprising new registrations and renewals. This performance underscores the steady expansion of the .ng namespace and its increasing relevance as a trusted digital identity for Nigerian individuals and organisations.
Domain Registrations
New registrations accounted for 11,808 domains in November. The 3rd-level domains recorded the highest volume with 10,215 registrations, maintaining their position as the most widely adopted option within the .ng ecosystem. The 2nd-level domains recorded 1,595 registrations, demonstrating growing interest in premium and direct .ng domain names.
Domain Renewals
Renewal activity remained strong, with 5,577 domains renewed during the reporting period. This included 3,725 renewals at the 3rd level and 1,852 renewals at the 2nd level. The consistent renewal figures reflect continued confidence in the stability, reliability, and value of the .ng domain space.
Outlook
The November performance reinforces the growth trajectory of the .ng domain. The balance between new registrations and renewals highlights both expanding adoption and strong retention among existing registrants. As NiRA continues its initiatives to promote awareness, improve service delivery, and support registrars, the .ng domain remains well positioned to support Nigeria’s evolving digital landscape.
