How to Register a .ug or .co.ug Domain (Step by Step, 2026)

A .co.ug domain tells Google and customers that you are a Ugandan business. Here is how to get one.

Which extension?

• .co.ug for companies
• .or.ug for NGOs and non-profits
• .ac.ug for universities and schools
• .ug open to anyone, shortest and most memorable

Where to register

.ug domains are managed by the Uganda registry (i3C). You can register through i3C directly or through accredited registrars such as Infocom, Datanet and several international registrars.

Should you also buy the .com?

Yes. Register both, use one as the main site and redirect the other. It protects your brand and helps international customers.

Requirements

Usually just a name, email and payment. Some registrars ask for a certificate of incorporation for .co.ug.
