Let's be honest, everyone loves a good deal. Especially when you are trying to start a business or launch a new idea in Nigeria, every Naira counts. You want to get online, but you don't want to break the bank just to secure your name.

You have probably looked around at different domain registrars and wondered why the prices vary so much for the exact same .ng domain. At NG Domain, people always ask us: "How una dey do am? How can your prices be this low when others are charging almost double?"

Some people think there's a hidden catch, or maybe it's magic. But I tell you, it's not magic, and we definitely aren't cutting corners on quality or security. It's simply smart engineering and a clear mission.

We believe that getting a Nigerian business online shouldn't cost an arm and a leg. Here is the naked truth about how we keep our operational costs near zero, so we can pass those massive savings straight to you.

1. We Don't Pay for Idle Servers

If you look at traditional registrars, they rent big, expensive servers that have to be running 24/7, whether people are buying domains at 2 AM or not. That rent must be paid every month, and guess who ends up paying for it in the long run? You, the customer.

We said no to that old model.

NG Domain is built from scratch using modern "serverless" technology. Think of it like paying for electricity only when you flip the switch on, instead of paying a flat rate even when you are not at home. We use Google Cloud's infrastructure, and their free tier gives us up to 2 million requests a month gratis. That is plenty for what we need right now!

By the time we get big enough to exceed those free limits, the cost we incur will be chickens change compared to the business we are doing. We don't have heavy hosting bills, so you don't have to pay heavy domain prices.

2. No "Middleman" License Fees

Here is a distressing statistic about the .ng ecosystem: About 99% of .ng registrars out there are using the same pre-packaged software to run their business - WHMCS.

While WHMCS is okay, it comes with steep monthly licensing fees that eat deep into operating costs and profits. Other alternatives like Plesk aren't cheap either.

At NG Domain, we built our own system to talk directly to NiRA (the registry in charge of all .ng domains). We don't have any middleman software or reselling shenanigans in-between adding unnecessary fees. Because we own our technology stack, we don't pay those heavy licensing "taxes," keeping our prices rock bottom.

3. Laser Focus on Domain Registration

You know those shops that try to sell tyres, recharge cards, Pure Water, and also try to barb your hair? They usually don't do any of them perfectly, and their shop is always cluttered.

That's how many registrars behave. They lure you in with a domain, then aggressively try to upsell you hosting, expensive email packages, website builders, DNS management, SSL certificates, and what have you not. Their systems are bloated and expensive to maintain because they are trying to do everything.

NG Domain has decided to do only one thing, and do it extremely well: sell domains.

Our infrastructure is highly specialized, cost-tuned, and scalable just for domain registration. No distractions, no bloat, just the best prices for your name.

4. Backed by a Mission, Not Just Profit

This is the part that touches our heart. NG Domain isn't just a cold business machine looking for maximum profit. We are proudly backed by the generous support of the non-profit Grassroot Internet Initiative (GII).

GII (https://gii.onl) is committed to helping Nigerian businesses come online and expanding access to technology across the country. They believe, just like we do, that the price of a domain name shouldn't stop a young entrepreneur in Lagos, Kano, or Port Harcourt from launching their idea to the world.

Their support helps us keep our focus on accessibility and affordability.

The Bottom Line

So there you have it. It's not magic. It's innovative, near-zero operational costs, smart engineering without the expensive fluff, and a genuine commitment to Nigeria's digital future.

That is why we can boldly commit to being the cheapest place ever to purchase your .ng domains. Don't dull yourself paying extra elsewhere. Come and register your name today at NG Domain.
