.edu.ng domain names
The Nigerian education namespace. We do not sell it — here is what it is and where to go.
Who uses it
Tertiary and other educational institutions in Nigeria.
What .edu.ng is
.edu.ng is the education corner of the Nigerian namespace, used by universities, polytechnics and colleges.
We do not register .edu.ng. This store sells the open part of the family — .ng, .com.ng, .org.ng, .net.ng and .i.ng — and nothing else. We are telling you that on the page rather than letting you find out at checkout.
Extensions like this one are typically restricted, meaning the registry expects evidence that the applicant is what the namespace is for. NiRA does not publish a single per-extension eligibility table on its website, so we will not paraphrase a rule we cannot point at. Ask NiRA or a registrar that handles restricted extensions what evidence they need, before you plan a launch around the address.
How to get a .edu.ng
- Ask NiRA directly what the current requirements are for .edu.ng — it is the registry for the whole .ng namespace and its answer is the binding one.
- Or approach an accredited registrar that handles restricted extensions; NiRA publishes the list of accredited registrars.
- In the meantime, an institution can hold a .org.ng or .ng name and use it immediately — both are open, and both are sold here.
Questions
- Can I buy a .edu.ng from OneBit?
- No. We register .ng, .com.ng, .org.ng, .net.ng and .i.ng only.
- What should a school use instead in the meantime?
- A .org.ng or a .ng. Both are open, both are registered here in minutes, and both can be pointed at the same site as a restricted domain later.
- Will you add .edu.ng later?
- We are not going to promise that. If it changes, the pricing page will show it, because that page reads from live billing rather than from a claim on a marketing page.
