FAQ
Questions about the programme
Is this really free? What is the catch?
The first year of your eligible .name.ng domain, Digital Launch Pack, one business email address and AI Website Builder is free. A debit or credit card is required for a separate one-time verification payment: ₦50 in NGN, or the amount shown in your checkout currency.
What happens after the first year?
At current standard prices, the .name.ng domain renews at ₦800 a year and the annual Digital Launch Pack renews at ₦6,499 a year: ₦7,299 combined before any applicable tax. We remind you before renewal, and show the current price before you choose whether to renew, change plan or transfer your domain.
Do I need to wait for approval?
There is no separate approval email to wait for. Follow the registration steps in your application email. Availability, programme eligibility and security checks still apply before activation.
Can I choose any domain extension?
The free first-year initiative covers one eligible .name.ng domain. Availability and programme eligibility are confirmed before activation.
Can I upgrade my hosting during the free year?
