Register & Buy A Domain Name in Ghana

You can check if a name is available by typing it into the search bar at the top of the page and clicking the "check availability" button.

If it's been registered, the system will display other options with different extensions for you to choose from. Simply click on the "order now" button and continue to checkout.

It depends on the TLD chosen. Country-specific TLDs like .africa are relatively cheap, while popular generic extensions like .com are almost three times the price.

You can get a free .africa domain name by purchasing one of our web hosting packages. The domain will be free for the first year and renewed at the normal price thereafter.

Domain hosting only provides ownership of domain names with the ability to manage nameservers and DNS records, while web hosting provides server storage space for your website and emails.

When choosing a web address, you should pick something easy to remember, relevant to your website, and easy to spell. It's also important to make sure that the name you want is available, and that you're not infringing on any trademarks or copyrights.

Domains are snatched up quicker than you might think and more than 110,000 are registered every day. This means the number of available addresses dwindles with each passing day. So, if you're planning to buy one, best do it sooner rather than later.

It depends on your goal and target audience. If you want to target a global audience, a .com is a better choice than a country code TLD (ccTLD), which can limit your reach. But, if you have a Ghanaian audience, a ccTLD like .africa is more appropriate.

It's also a good idea to secure multiple TLDs to prevent them from being abused by impersonators or used by competitors in the future.

You will need to renew it every year. Some registrars allow for a ten-year registration period, which is convenient if you plan to keep the name for the long term. Renewing it every year ensures that it's being used and that the name isn't being wasted.

It can take up to 48 hours for your website to become visible to all users on the internet. This usually takes no longer than 24 hours, but sometimes delays can occur with some internet providers, pushing it beyond 24 hours.
