Choose the right .UG service

Different Uganda-focused projects need different .UG services.

A local company, nonprofit, tourism operator, and international brand each need a namespace and domain plan that match the audience.

For businesses and local services

Use .UG, .CO.UG, or .COM.UG for company information, customer contact, products, and business email.

  • Business website
  • Customer service
  • Local identity

For organizations and education

Use an appropriate namespace for associations, community initiatives, schools, training, or public-interest projects.

  • Organization pages
  • Education resources
  • Community programs

For tourism and exporters

Build a Uganda-focused address for destinations, accommodation, products, logistics, and international buyers.

  • Tourism marketing
  • Export information
  • Regional campaigns

For agencies and brand teams

Manage direct .UG names, category namespaces, defensive registrations, and customer portfolios.

  • Namespace planning
  • Bulk search
  • Portfolio management
Domain transfer

Move .UG domains to a registrar built for safe domain management.

If you already own .UG domains elsewhere, transfer decisions should not be based only on one renewal invoice. Check transfer eligibility, ownership access, billing reliability, support response time, API needs, and long-term domain management.

1 Unlock the domainConfirm the domain is not transfer-locked at the current registrar.
2 Get the Auth Code / EPP codeRequest the authorization code from the current registrar before starting the transfer.
3 Submit the transfer through NiceNICStart the transfer, complete payment, and monitor transfer approval status.
Bulk domain registration

Search and register multiple .UG domains.

Paste multiple .UG names, remove duplicates, review the count, and continue to bulk registration. This is useful for domain investors, brand teams, agencies, hosting providers, and resellers.

Enter domains or brand keywords

Enter one name per line, with or without .UG. The tool removes duplicates and prepares a clean list for bulk registration.

Questions before you register or transfer a .UG?

Practical answers about direct .UG, category namespaces, Uganda market use, registrant details, nameservers, transfers, organizations, education, and portfolios.

How many active domains are observed in the .UG namespace?

webatla reports 6,969 observed active domains in the .UG namespace as of September 15, 2026, including public subdomains. This third-party snapshot is not an official registration total. The global market chart separately shows DNIB Q1 2026 registration totals by domain category; it does not estimate .UG market share.

Which .UG namespace should a business choose?

A business can compare direct .UG, .CO.UG, and .COM.UG based on name length, availability, branding, and customer expectations. Check availability in the registration section.

What other .UG domain categories are available?

The registry lists direct .UG and options including .CO.UG, .COM.UG, .ORG.UG, .OR.UG, .EDU.UG, .AC.UG, and .SC.UG. It also lists government and military categories. Listing a suffix does not imply unrestricted eligibility.

Can an applicant outside Uganda register a .UG domain?

The registry account form collects country and contact details for individuals and organizations. Confirm current eligibility for the selected namespace and your location with NiceNIC before ordering.

Do I need nameserver information when registering a .UG domain?

The registry signup form includes nameserver fields. Prepare the nameservers supplied by your DNS hosting provider and confirm the activation requirements with NiceNIC.

How are .UG transfers handled?

The registry API documents separate transfer-request and transfer-confirmation steps. Confirm domain status, authorization, and current handling with both registrars before starting. Use the NiceNIC domain transfer service.

Is .EDU.UG suitable for any commercial training website?

Education namespaces may have category-specific expectations or evidence requirements. Commercial training providers should confirm eligibility before choosing .EDU.UG.

Can I search several .UG and category-based names together?

Yes. Bulk search can help compare direct names, business namespaces, organization names, locations, and defensive variants. Use the bulk search section.

Can an agency automate Uganda-focused domain workflows?

Where supported, agencies can review the NiceNIC reseller API for registration, renewal, transfer, and portfolio operations.

Secure the .UG name before someone else does.

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