How do I register a .co.ug domain in Uganda?

A .co.ug domain is the address many Ugandan businesses use, and it tells visitors straight away that you serve customers in Uganda. Hostnali sells it online, together with .ug and the other Ugandan extensions.

Step by step

1. Search for your name on our domain registration page. Try short, easy-to-spell names that match your business.
2. Add the .co.ug to your cart. If it’s taken, the search suggests other extensions such as .ug or .com.
3. Create your client account with your name, phone number and email. Use details you keep up to date: they become the domain’s contact details.
4. Pay by card, bank transfer or mobile money. The registration goes ahead once the payment is confirmed. If the registry asks for business details or documents, our team tells you what to send.
5. Point it at your website and email. Add web hosting or business email and the domain is set up for you.

What it costs

A .co.ug domain costs UGX 221,000 for the first year and UGX 268,600 a year to renew. See how much a .co.ug costs for details, or get a domain free for the first year with any hosting plan except Starter.

Tips before you buy

• Register the .co.ug and the .com of your name together if both are free, so nobody else can take the other one.
• Turn on auto-renew in the client area so the domain never expires by accident.
• Avoid hyphens and numbers that are hard to say over the phone.
