## What it is
WhoGoHost Domain Registration lets you search for and register a domain name to secure your brand online. WhoGoHost is an ICANN- and NIRA-accredited registrar, so you can register both global extensions like .com and Nigerian extensions like .com.ng and .ng. Every domain includes free DNS management, and you can connect it to a website, email, or server right away. Domain registration is separate from hosting, so you can buy a domain on its own.

## Who it is for
- Nigerian entrepreneurs, startups, and businesses securing a brand name online
- Individuals registering a .ng or .com.ng domain for personal brands, blogs, or projects
- Anyone who wants a memorable web address before building a website or email

## How it works
1. Search for your preferred domain name using the search tool.
2. Pick an extension, such as .com.ng or .ng.
3. Complete the quick checkout. Domains are activated once payment is confirmed.
4. Connect your domain to a website, email, or server. You gain immediate access to your domain and DNS settings.

If your preferred name is taken, try small variations or a different extension (like .com.ng or .org.ng), or contact support for available suggestions.

## Common questions
### How many domain extensions can I register?
WhoGoHost offers over 400 TLDs and ccTLDs, including popular options like .com.ng, .ng, .org.ng, .com, .net, and .org. Premium domains are available on a price-on-request basis from the trusted supplier network.

### Do I get a free domain with hosting?
WhoGoHost web hosting plans include a free .com.ng domain. Domain registration itself is separate from hosting, so you can also buy a domain without a hosting plan.

### What is the difference between .com.ng and .ng?
.com.ng is more budget-friendly and a good fit for most businesses in Nigeria, while .ng is shorter and premium, well suited to strong branding. Both give you a Nigerian domain name; .ng stands out for brand recall and a clean look.

### How long does it take to activate a domain?
Domains purchased with WhoGoHost are activated once payment is confirmed. You immediately gain access to your domain and DNS settings so you can start building right away.

### Is domain privacy available?
Yes. WhoGoHost offers domain privacy protection to keep your personal information hidden from public WHOIS records, helping prevent spam, identity theft, and unwanted contact.
