About the .NGO domain

What is the .NGO domain?

The .ngo is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) managed by Public Interest Registry, the same organisation that manages the well-known .org. It was delegated by ICANN in 2014. Unlike many generic extensions, .ngo requires an eligibility verification process confirming that the registering entity is genuinely a legitimate non-governmental organisation — adding an extra layer of credibility and trust. .ngo is the reference extension for NGOs of any cause and size. Fixed price $44.99/year.

Frequently asked questions about the .NGO domain

Does .ngo have fixed registration and renewal pricing?

Yes. .ngo maintains the same price of $44.99/year for both initial registration and renewals.

What verification process does .ngo require?

The registry verifies that the applying entity is genuinely a legitimate non-governmental organisation through documentation proving its nature and activity. This process provides a layer of trust other generic extensions don't offer.

Why choose .ngo instead of .org for an NGO?

.ngo unambiguously communicates that it is a verified non-governmental organisation, while .org is used by a much wider variety of organisations without that specific verification. For donors and partners, .ngo provides an additional trust signal.

Are help.ngo or global.ngo good domains?

Yes. help.ngo directly communicates the mission of assistance. global.ngo for organisations with international presence. local.ngo for NGOs focused on a specific community.

Does .ngo rank well in Google for NGO-related searches?

Google treats .ngo like any gTLD. For non-profit organisation SEO, transparency, impact stories and ease of partnering or donating are the determining factors.

Can I transfer my .ngo domain to miHosting?

Yes. The transfer has no additional cost. You need the authorisation code (Auth Code) from your current registrar, and you'll need to complete the verification process if you haven't already. The process takes 5 to 7 business days.
