Short answer
Both are Ugandan domains. .co.ug is the long-established address for businesses, while .ug is the shorter national domain (yourbrand.ug). Many businesses register both so customers find them either way.
| .co.ug | .ug | |
|---|---|---|
| Example | yourbrand.co.ug | yourbrand.ug |
| Best for | Businesses and companies | Short brand names, apps, campaigns |
| First year at Hostnali | UGX 221,000 | UGX 221,000 |
| Renewal | UGX 268,600 | UGX 268,600 |
When to choose .co.ug
Ugandan customers have seen .co.ug on business websites for years, so it reads straight away as “a company in Uganda”. It’s the safe, familiar choice for most businesses.
When to choose .ug
A .ug address is shorter and more modern, and it is easy to say and type on a phone. It suits brands, startups, apps and campaigns.
Other Ugandan extensions
There are other Ugandan extensions too, such as .or.ug and .ac.ug. Search your name on our domain registration page to see which are available and their prices. If the registry asks for business details or documents for any of them, our team tells you what to send.
Our advice: register the .co.ug of your name, add the .ug if it’s free, and point both to the same website. Read how to register a .co.ug or see the full domain price list.
