MAKE THE EXTENSION MEAN SOMETHING
Why choose .gov.ng?
.gov.ng is a namespace beneath .ng, the country-code top-level domain associated with Nigeria. Publish verified institutional information and public-service contact routes. Applications require the official institutional process; a private buyer cannot simply claim this identity.

WAYS TO MAKE IT YOURSA name that fits your audience

Plan the complete launch
Plan website hosting, professional email and DNS separately from the registration. Link to genuine support and keep ownership with the intended registrant; none of those services is implied to be free or automatically included.

Who can register?
This is a restricted namespace for authorized Nigerian government institutions. Follow the institutional registration process and provide the required official authorization. It is not an open commercial namespace.
Choosing a valid name
Use a single registrable name before this complete extension. ASCII letters, digits and internal hyphens are the usual starting point; leading or trailing hyphens and subdomains such as www are not a new registration. Reserved labels, minimum lengths and supported internationalized scripts are checked by the registry/provider. A valid-looking label is not a reservation.
KEEP THE NAME. CHANGE THE HOME.
Bring your .gov.ng domain.
An institutional domain transfer must preserve the eligible registrant and the required official authority. Confirm the supporting evidence and registry process with the responsible institution and registrar. Do not submit confidential institutional documents through a public domain-search form.
Submit authorization codes only in the private transfer flow—not on this page or in a support message.
Renewals and continuity
Keep contact information and payment arrangements current, and renew before the confirmed expiry date. Renewal, restoration and transfer are different operations. No grace period, restoration window or automatic renewal success is promised by this guide; consult the actual account and applicable policy.
Premium names are different
A registry-premium name may have a different registration or renewal price from a standard name. A domain already held by a seller is an aftermarket listing, not an ordinary new registration. The exact name-specific quote takes precedence over a general extension price.

Get to know .gov.ng.
What is .gov.ng useful for?
Consider it for authorized Nigerian government institutions. Publish verified institutional information and public-service contact routes. These are editorial suggestions, not restrictions or a registry endorsement.
Who can apply for a .gov.ng domain?
This is a restricted namespace for authorized Nigerian government institutions. Follow the institutional registration process and provide the required official authorization. It is not an open commercial namespace.
Can I move an existing .gov.ng name?
An institutional domain transfer must preserve the eligible registrant and the required official authority. Confirm the supporting evidence and registry process with the responsible institution and registrar. Do not submit confidential institutional documents through a public domain-search form.
Why are registration and renewal shown separately?
They can have different prices and eligible periods. The current pricing panel displays only billing-supplied periods and payable totals, without multiplying an introductory price into future years.
Is hosting, email or privacy included?
Do not assume so from the domain extension alone. Compare the actual Hostbip service offering. Privacy, internationalized names and DNSSEC depend on the namespace and supported provider features.
