  • With a TLD as .ng, Nigeria’s country code assumes a global significance for many words by coupling of the TLD with any of the vowels of the English language. i.e. Fishi.ng, Samsu.ng
  • The uniqueness of the .ng ccTLD has seen firms like Google, Microsoft Domain Developers Fund taking up googli.ng; bi.ng; et cetera since the Second Level was opened up.

Why you should switchto.ng platform.

  • Availability of Names is better on the .ng ccTLD than on the gTLDs like .com, .org.
  • Branding and Geo targeting of local content to the Nigerian market
