How do I register a domain name in Ghana?

Most Ghanaian businesses start with a .com, and anyone can register one online: companies, sole proprietors, startups and individuals. A .africa, .org or .net is just as quick, with no documents needed.

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 domain to your cart. If the .com is taken, the search suggests other extensions such as .africa, .org or .net.
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 domain is registered once the payment is confirmed.
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 .com domain costs ₵178 for the first year and ₵210 a year to renew; a .africa is ₵250. See the .com, .africa, .org and .net pages, or get a domain free for the first year with any hosting plan except Starter.

What about .com.gh?

Ghana’s .com.gh and the other .gh extensions need an application to the Ghana registry, so they can’t be bought in a few clicks. Ask our team and we’ll help. See can I register a .com.gh domain?

Tips before you buy

• Register the .com and the .africa 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 out loud.
