How to Register a Domain with NG Domain

Registering a domain name with NG Domain is a simple and straightforward process. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Search for Your Desired Domain Name:

   • Navigate to our homepage or the domain search page.
   • Enter the domain name you wish to register into the search bar (e.g., myawesomenigerianbusiness).
   • You can either type the full domain (e.g., myawesomenigerianbusiness.com.ng) or just the name, and our system will suggest available .ng extensions and other TLDs.
   • Click the "Search" button.

2. Check Availability and Choose Your TLD:

   • Our system will check if your chosen domain name is available.
   • If it's available with your preferred TLD (e.g., .com.ng, .ng), it will be highlighted.
   • We will also show you the availability of the same name with other popular .ng extensions and some gTLDs.
   • You'll see the price per year for each available option.

3. Add to Cart:

   • Once you've found an available domain name you like, click the "Add to Cart" button (often a shopping cart icon) next to it.
   • You can add multiple domain names to your cart if you wish to register several at once.

4. Configure Your Domain (Optional):

   • In your shopping cart, you can typically select the registration period (number of years, usually 1 to 10).
   • WHOIS privacy is included free with every domain. Once a domain is in your cart, you can also add DNSSEC.

5. Proceed to Checkout:

   • When you're ready, click on the "Checkout" or "Proceed to Checkout" button.

6. Provide Registrant Information:

   • You'll need to provide accurate contact information for the domain registrant (owner). This information is required for domain registration and management.
   • Ensure all details (name, address, email, phone number) are correct. For some specific .ng domains (like .edu.ng), additional verification or documentation might be required.

7. Choose Payment Method & Complete Purchase:

   • Payment goes through Paystack's secure checkout, which shows you the payment options available to you.
   • Enter your payment details there and complete the transaction.

8. Confirmation & Domain Activation:

   • After successful payment, you'll receive a confirmation email with your order details.
   • Your domain name registration will then be processed. Most .ng domains are registered within 24-48 hours. Some specialty domains or those requiring manual verification might take longer.
   • You will be notified once your domain is active and ready to be managed through your NG Domain account dashboard.

That's it! You've successfully registered your domain name with NG Domain. You can now point it at your website, connect an email provider, and manage your domain settings.
