Ready to secure your business name online in Nigeria? Our step-by-step guide has you covered.

What Is a Domain Extension?

A domain extension is the ending of your website address, like .ng in mybusiness.ng. Think of it as picking the right neighborhood for your online shop; some are cozy and local, others big and busy worldwide.

We’ve got generic ones like .com that anyone anywhere can love, and Naija-specific ones like .ng that scream homegrown. At telaHosting, we guide you to the one that matches your goals, so your business name shines bright.

Why pick .ng with us? It’s memorable, boosts your spot in local Google searches, and costs just ₦15,000 a year. Perfect for keeping it Naija! Discover why registering your .ng with telaHosting is the smart move – affordable, reliable, and expert-backed.

.com.ng mixes your Naija roots with a pro touch that works anywhere. It’s like wearing ankara with a suit—local pride meets worldwide style.

Best for:

• Companies selling across Nigeria but eyeing exports too.
• Services like consulting that need to look sharp for big clients.

Real Example: LagosConsults.ng (or tekfusion.com.ng for a tech firm) – imagine a Port Harcourt advisor using it to land deals from Abuja to overseas partners.

Best for:

• App developers or IT fixes in Enugu.
