.gen.ng for general-purpose projects and services

Overview

Use gen.ng for a project, community, website or digital service that does not need a company- or institution-specific extension.

Who can apply?

Applicants must provide accurate identity information and meet the general-purpose registration requirements.

Preparing your application

Your registrar may request applicant identity information and details of the intended use.

Choosing and using a name

General-purpose projects can include business websites, communities and digital services under the applicable policy. This is not a personal-use-only namespace or a limit on how a legitimate project may grow.

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 .gen.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.
