About .org.ng
.org.ng is where organisations that are not primarily trading tend to sit. Nothing technical separates it from .com.ng — the difference is what a reader assumes when they see it, which for a foundation or an association is worth having.
It is a third-level domain under the .ng country code, and it works identically to any other: full DNS control, email, certificates.
If you are a registered body, take the name that matches how people already refer to you rather than your full legal name. The address people can remember is the one that gets typed.

Questions
- Do I need to prove we are a registered non-profit?
- We do not ask for documents at registration. NiRA sets and enforces the rules for the .ng namespace, so if a specific requirement applies to your organisation, check with NiRA or ask us and we will point you at the right policy.
- Can a business register a .org.ng?
- Nothing in our checkout stops it. Whether it is the right choice is a different question — a trading business is usually better served by .com.ng or .ng, because that is what customers expect.
- Can I hold both .org.ng and .com.ng?
- Yes, and organisations often do, pointing one at the other so either address reaches the same site.
