Did you know that over 80% of Nigerians prefer engaging with organizations with a clear Nigerian identity online?
If you’re a non-profit, charity, or community-focused organization operating in Nigeria, a .org.ng domain is your golden ticket to building trust and credibility with your audience.
Let us collaborate and divulge more information.
What are .org.ng domains?
.org.ng is a country-code top-level domain designed explicitly for Nigerian organizations, akin to the .org domain, but emphasizing Nigeria.
These web addresses prove that the organization is dedicated to providing services to the people of Nigeria.
Who can register them?
.org.ng domains are available for registration to any non-profit organization, charity, or NGO registered and operated within Nigeria.
This exclusive domain extension ensures that your organization is easily recognizable and trustworthy to your target audience.
Why choose .org.ng over other extensions?
- Trust and credibility:
.org.ng domains are only available to registered non-profits, charities, and NGOs, instantly building trust with your audience.
- Local relevance:
Using a .org.ng domain demonstrates your commitment to serving the Nigerian community and makes connecting with local supporters and partners easier.
- Improved search engine visibility:
.org.ng domains are prioritized by search engines for Nigeria-specific searches, increasing your chances of being found by your target audience.
- Availability:
With .com and .org domains becoming increasingly scarce, .org.ng offers more options for desirable names.
