The cheapest .ng domain registrar depends on the extension and the year you measure.
We rank Truehost first overall because our prices remain competitive across the namespace, our public catalogue separates registration and renewal, and we support both open and restricted Nigerian extensions.
At Truehost, .ng domains start from as low as ₦450.00 for .name.ng domain, and ₦5,500.00 for .com.ng
Here, “.ng domains” means the Nigerian namespace: direct .ng, open options such as .com.ng, .org.ng, .net.ng, .name.ng, .i.ng and .mobi.ng, plus restricted options such as .sch.ng and .edu.ng. It does not mean direct .ng alone.
All six providers in this comparison appear on NiRA’s accredited list. I checked their official public prices on 25 August 2026.
How I compared the registrars
I compared one-year registration and renewal prices.
For this particular view, I excluded hosting bundles, premium names, domain promos, that needed an unpublished code, fees absent from the public price page, and transfer prices from the ranking.
The open-domain basket contains direct .ng, .com.ng, .org.ng and .name.ng.
It tests whether a registrar stays competitive across distinct uses; it is not a suggestion that you should buy all four.
I assessed .sch.ng and .edu.ng separately because price cannot remove their eligibility and document requirements. Government and military namespaces also sit outside the consumer basket.
The ranking weighs:
first-year and renewal prices;
coverage across open and restricted extensions;
price clarity on the official site;
current NiRA accreditation; and
publicly documented search and domain-management controls.
Cheapest registrar by .ng extension
The provider with the lowest registration price often differs from the renewal winner.
Extension | Lowest registration | Lowest renewal | Registration type |
|---|---|---|---|
| GO54: ₦9,200 | Truehost or QServers: ₦15,000 | Open |
| GO54: ₦3,000 | Truehost or QServers: ₦7,000 | Open |
| QServers: ₦6,500 | QServers: ₦7,000 | Open |
| QServers: ₦6,500 | QServers: ₦7,000 | Open |
| Truehost: ₦450.00 | GO54 or QServers: ₦500 | Open |
| QServers: ₦6,500 | QServers: ₦7,000 | Open |
| QServers: ₦6,500 | QServers: ₦7,000 | Open |
| QServers: ₦6,500 | QServers: ₦7,000 | Restricted |
| GlobalHosting247: ₦7,650 | GlobalHosting247: ₦7,650 | Restricted |

Our registrar ranking
1) Truehost: best overall namespace choice
We rank ourselves first for the strongest overall balance rather than claiming every lowest cell.
Extension | Register | Renew |
|---|---|---|
| ₦13,500.00 | ₦15,000.00 |
| ₦5,500.00 | ₦7,000.00 |
| ₦7,500.00 | ₦7,500.00 |
| ₦450.00 | ₦1,000.00 |
| ₦9,000.00 | ₦9,000.00 |
| ₦9,000.00 | ₦9,000.00 |
Our .name.ng registration is the lowest in this comparison. Our .com.ng and direct .ng renewal prices tie the lowest verified renewal figures among the six providers.
Our pricing catalogue also exposes registration, renewal, transfer, grace and redemption information in one place.

Choose us when you want one account for open domains and document-reviewed institutional applications, with the price stages visible before you search.
2) GO54: lowest first-year open basket
GO54’s domain pricing displays aggressive entry rates: ₦9,200 for direct .ng, ₦3,000 for .com.ng, ₦7,200 for .org.ng and ₦500 for .name.ng.
That produces a ₦19,900 first-year basket, the lowest complete basket in this comparison.
The same basket renews at ₦30,500. The largest jumps occur on direct .ng and .com.ng, so GO54’s first-year lead narrows after renewal.
GO54 also lists .sch.ng at ₦7,200 and .edu.ng at ₦15,600. It suits a buyer prioritising the lowest displayed entry price for direct .ng or .com.ng.
3) QServers: lowest open-basket renewal
QServers’ pricing table lists direct .ng at ₦13,500 to register and ₦15,000 to renew. Its .com.ng, .org.ng and .name.ng rates bring the four-extension basket to ₦26,000 initially and ₦29,500 at renewal.
That ₦29,500 renewal basket is the lowest complete renewal basket I verified. QServers also posts the lowest prices in this set for .org.ng, .net.ng, .i.ng, .mobi.ng and .sch.ng.

Choose QServers when recurring cost across several third-level .ng extensions matters more than the lowest first-year .com.ng promotion.
4) GlobalHosting247: flat prices and low .edu.ng
GlobalHosting247’s official table charges the same amount for registration and renewal across the Nigerian extensions used here: ₦15,550 for direct .ng, ₦7,650 for .com.ng and .org.ng, and ₦1,750 for .name.ng.
Its open basket totals ₦32,600 in both years. It also displays .edu.ng at ₦7,650, the lowest public .edu.ng rate among these six providers on the research date.
Choose it when a flat renewal structure or the displayed institutional-domain price matters more than the lowest open-domain entry offer.
5) Upperlink: clear core-extension pricing
Upperlink’s pricing page lists direct .ng at ₦15,000 and .com.ng, .org.ng and .net.ng at ₦7,500 for registration and renewal.
The page does not display .name.ng in its popular-price table, so I did not create a complete basket total.
Upperlink remains useful for buyers who want a NiRA-accredited provider with equal published registration and renewal rates across its listed core Nigerian extensions.
6) HostNowNow: simple but higher open prices
Interesting name, right?
HostNowNow’s official catalogue displays direct .ng at ₦16,000 and .com.ng, .org.ng, .name.ng, .sch.ng and .edu.ng at ₦9,000 each for registration and renewal.
Its four-extension open basket totals ₦43,000 for both registration and renewal.
The equal figures simplify budgeting, but other registrars undercut each component in this comparison.
Why Truehost is your domain budget option
“Cheapest registrar” can mean three different things:
the lowest price for one extension today;
the lowest renewal cost for the domain you will keep; or
the best-priced registrar across the extensions and support path you actually need.
We rank Truehost first overall because we remain near the price floor across high-demand open extensions, post both initial and recurring costs, and provide a verified route for restricted applications.
That distinction prevents a promotional .com.ng price from deciding an .edu.ng purchase, or a cheap .name.ng renewal from deciding where a company should manage several business domains.
Which registrar fits your purchase?

Check these details before payment
a) Confirm the exact extension
Direct .ng and .com.ng have different prices and naming positions. Restricted .sch.ng and .edu.ng also have different applicant rules.
Compare the extension you intend to register, not the cheapest row on the page.
Use our direct .ng page for .ng, the school domain for .sch.ng, and the education requirements for .edu.ng.
b) Compare renewal separately
GO54’s first-year basket leads this comparison, while QServers wins the renewal basket. Decide which result matters for the period you expect to keep the domain.
c) Verify the checkout amount
Public lists can change before this article updates. Confirm the extension, term, optional services, tax and total on the registrar’s final review screen.
d) Confirm account controls
Check how the account handles DNS records, nameservers, renewal notices, contact updates and transfer authorisation. A small price difference can lose its value if routine domain management requires manual support.
Final recommendation
Choose Truehost when you want the best overall combination of current .ng namespace pricing, transparent renewal information and support for restricted applications.
When you know the extension you need, search with us and review its registration and renewal prices together.
