.ng is the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Nigeria, managed by the Nigeria Internet Registration Association (NiRA). It is an open-use domain, allowing registration by anyone worldwide, though certain second-level domains are restricted to specific entities such as government, education, and military organizations.
Open for public registration at the second level, but some second-level domains are restricted: .gov.ng for government entities, .edu.ng for higher education, .sch.ng for schools, .mil.ng for military, and .net.ng for ISPs. Offensive, geographical, trademarked, and premium names are also restricted or require special approval.

The .ng ccTLD was originally delegated on March 15, 1995, by Dr. Jon Postel of IANA to Ms. Iyabo Odusote of Yaba College of Technology. In 2004, ICANN redelegated the domain to the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA). In 2009, following a formal request, ICANN redelegated .ng to the Nigeria Internet Registration Association (NiRA), which now manages the domain. The delegation record was last updated in 2026.
The .ng TLD serves a specific purpose in the domain ecosystem, providing users with clear context about the websites using this extension.
The .ng TLD is commonly used for the following purposes:
Registration is open to all, but domain names must be at least three characters, use only a-z, 0-9, and hyphens (not starting or ending with hyphen), and not violate policies on trademarks, geography, or offensive content. Some second-level domains require verification of eligibility (e.g., .gov.ng requires government credentials).
The .ng TLD is available for registration through accredited domain registrars.
