It seems like the Nigerian domain name registry is having a promotion to celebrate Nigeria's 50th year anniversary.

Upperlink - Dead

Try this one: http://www.web4africa.com.ng/

No credit card required. The official ccTLD for Nigeria is .ng.

In order to populate the .NG Registry with Active domains, the Nigeria Internet Registration Association (NIRA) is giving out 50,000 domains free

Edit: The offer below has been taken.

If anyone wants mine, they're yours. NO COST. I want to stress that this is not a sales post.

The fact that this company had a broken reg system, didn't know it was broken until I told them, didn't know what to do about it, lost every domain I had entered into that system, and haven't replied to my last query tells me I don't need to be involved with these people in any way.

Here are my .com.ng domains:

boats.com.ng
check.com.ng
clean.com.ng
cleanwater.com.ng
comedy.com.ng
dictator.com.ng
dine.com.ng
dining.com.ng
ghost.com.ng
ghosts.com.ng
hamburger.com.ng
hamburgers.com.ng
hell.com.ng
humor.com.ng
links.com.ng
magic.com.ng
mall.com.ng
moneyorder.com.ng
peace.com.ng
piracy.com.ng
pirate.com.ng
pirates.com.ng
planes.com.ng
pollution.com.ng
science.com.ng
visit.com.ng
war.com.ng


As I say, I had some MUCH better ones that they never put through - these were my 'test' domains to see if it actually worked.

First come, first serve. Only stipulation is that you can't keep them in my name. Don't know how to transfer with Upperlink yet, but we'll figure it out.

As a sidenote, what do you guys prefer? "Upperstink" or "Downerlink"?

Anyone read the TOS?

Payment Obligations: Full payment is required in advance before hosting service is established. Web4Africa sends out invoices that are due every pay period. You are given fourteen (14) days to fully pay the invoice. If your initial payment was through Paypal subscription, your credit card will automatically be charged each renewal period unless cancelled. You warrant and represent that the information you supply in the Order Form (or other information that Web4Africa may require) is accurate and truthful. All payment-due notices will be sent by e-mail. No bills or invoices will be sent by postal mail or fax. If payment was not received by the due-date, your account will be suspended. To have your account re-established, you will need to pay the monthly fees, plus a late payment fee. There is a $35 fee for bounced checks and a $45 processing fee for illegitimate charge backs. Users who partake in the free domain registration promotional offer and cancel services within 1 year of their signup date are required to pay Web4Africa $8.50 for the domain registration fee.


I think this means you need to renew, and if you dont you will be charged $8.50/domain...Am I wrong?

Looks like that applies to people who bought hosting along with their .com.ng...at least I hope. I didn't use web4Africa though.

I was wondering if it had to do with hosting, but it specifically says "for the domain registration fee"

I am about to register a bunch of domains, but dont want to have to pay for them no matter what next year...

On their site:
Web4Africa Nigeria is offering .ng domain name registration, for free, as a limited time offer. This offer is only available to clients hosting with us.


I think the time for the free NSA .com.ng's is over.

I don't know, guys. Hope I'm wrong, but this just doesn't feel right. You might watch your paypal and credit card accounts.

You don't need to enter payment info to register. In a pinch if they demanded a fee, you could theoretically tell them to go suck wind.

You don't even need to set a password, they automatically generate one.

If they were looking to get into your Paypal account, they'd at least make you set a password so they could try to log into Paypal with your e-mail/password combo.

Speaking for only myself, they have nothing from me now that they couldn't get from running a WhoIs on one of my domains...

I didn't pay anything, gave them my junk email and read the TOS and will transfer out after 60 day period. It was a bit confusing but I was able to set the nameservers and had to set the domain to lock myself. I would never have seriously considered such a ccSLD but I was bored and wanted to see if I could find one quickly that was unregistered with traffic. 2 days made $1.12 so if this keeps up, it could potentially pay for a .com reg or renewal within a week. :hehe:

Please PM me if you want to 'offload' your .COM.NGs. I'll make a fair offer.

Thanks.

Nigeria is actually one of the rising business powerhouses in Africa.

They have a huge population as well.

Don't be too quick to underestimate it!
