Choose the registration, DNS, renewal, portfolio, or reseller workflow that matches the Rwanda project and namespace.

Questions before you register or transfer a .RW domain?

Short answers about open eligibility, Rwanda namespaces, naming rules, DNS, transfer handling, bulk management, renewal, and dispute policies for .RW buyers.

What is a .RW domain and who manages it?

.RW is the country-code top-level domain for Rwanda. It is managed by the Rwanda Internet Community and Technology Alliance, commonly known as RICTA.

Can people and organizations outside Rwanda register .RW?

RICTA’s published policy describes .RW as an open registry. Citizens, non-citizens, individuals, and organizations can request eligible names, subject to accurate registration data and applicable rules.

Should I register directly under .RW or use .CO.RW, .ORG.RW, or .NET.RW?

A direct .RW name is short and broadly useful. .CO.RW is intended for commercial entities, .ORG.RW for organizations, and .NET.RW for network infrastructure and providers. Choose the namespace that best matches the website.

Are all .RW namespaces open to the public?

.RW policy distinguishes open and restricted spaces. .GOV.RW is for government institutions and .AC.RW is for eligible educational institutions, while other spaces have their stated purpose and rules.

What information is needed for a .RW registration?

Applicants must provide current, complete, and accurate domain, registrant, administrative, billing, technical, and nameserver information. False or misleading information can lead to registry action.

How is a .RW domain moved between registrars?

Registrar changes follow RICTA and participating registrar procedures. Confirm the domain status, registrant details, any required authorization, and ask NiceNIC transfer support to review eligibility before starting.

What DNS requirements should I consider for .RW?

Use properly configured authoritative nameservers and keep technical contact data current. The registry policy expects nameserver operation to follow applicable DNS standards and not harm registry integrity.

Can NiceNIC support multiple .RW names for agencies or brands?

Yes. NiceNIC can help with bulk availability planning, centralized account management, DNS, renewals, and reseller API workflows for multiple eligible .RW names.

What should I know about renewal, disputes, and lawful use?

Renew on time, keep all contact details accurate, and use the domain in accordance with Rwandan law and registry rules. RICTA maintains a dispute process and may act on misleading data, rights violations, or prohibited use.

Secure the .RW name before someone else does.

Register a new .RW, transfer an existing domain, or upgrade your account level for bulk registration and reseller API use.
