About the .GH domain
What is the .GH domain?
It is not possible to register a name directly under .gh: registration happens at the third level, mainly under .com.gh for commercial entities. The applicant company must be formally registered in Ghana, providing its company registration details, and the person designated as domain administrator must physically reside in the country. Individual applications require a passport or ID document. The registry recommends, though does not strictly require, that primary DNS servers be located within Ghana. In recent years, the Ghanaian government has pushed initiatives for businesses operating in the country to mandatorily adopt this extension, as part of a digital sovereignty strategy.
