.biz.ng for businesses and commercial activity

Overview

Use biz.ng for a business website, online shop or service presence. Choose a name that represents your business and review the registration terms with your registrar.

Who can apply?

The applicant must meet the namespace's business-use requirements. Information identifying the business and its connection to the requested name may be required.

Preparing your application

Your registrar may request business identity information and evidence connecting the applicant to the name.

Choosing a business name

Choose a name that identifies your business or service clearly. A trading name and a company legal name are not necessarily the same; your registrar explains what information is relevant to your application.

Names remain subject to the naming rules and the rights of others. Reserved names and premium classifications are separate from eligibility.

Registration and renewal

Apply through a registrar that supports this namespace. Confirm the registration period, currency, taxes, initial charge and renewal price before accepting an offer. A premium registration price does not establish its renewal price, and not every name is premium-priced.

Maintain accurate registrant information and use your registrar for renewals, authorised transfers and record changes. Recovery after expiry depends on the applicable service rules. Hosting, email and other services are separate unless expressly included in the registrar’s offer.

Questions about .biz.ng

Does registration certify the applicant?

No. A registration provides the rights defined in the applicable terms. It does not incorporate a business, verify professional credentials, grant charitable status or approve the claims on a website.

Where can I confirm the price or discuss a name?

Use the registration guidance route for an appropriate registrar channel. A domain lookup does not reserve a name or confirm that it can be registered.
