.ng is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Nigeria.[citation needed]
.ng Domain Name
On May 13, 2009, IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) completed the process of re-delegation of the .ng domain name from temporary authorities to the current Nigerian ones.[citation needed] For many years, Randy Bush had been the Technical contact of the .ng domain name.[citation needed] With the IANA re-delegation, the technical contact is now the local Nigerian DNS administrator, while the administrative contact is the president of Nigeria Internet Registration Association. [citation needed]
To speed up the process of registering .ng domain names, NIRA has accredited a first batch of 29 Domain registrars, most of whom are Nigerian companies. Registrars are categorized into Platinum, Gold, Silver and Standard categories.[1]
History
- .ng domain was established in 1990[citation needed], currently activated since 1994[citation needed], registered and introduced on 1995.[citation needed]
