.ug zone questions
Is .co.ug a top-level domain?
.ug is Uganda's top-level domain. .co.ug is a zone inside it, managed under the .UG registry policy.
What does “Eligibility rules” mean?
The registry expects the zone to be used for a stated purpose, such as organisations or schools, and may ask for supporting documents.
What does “Restricted” mean?
Only specific bodies, such as government or military entities, can register these zones, and they need the registry's approval.
Can a foreign company register here?
It depends on the zone and the .UG registry policy. Open zones are usually the easiest. Ask us before ordering and we'll confirm.
Does a local domain help search visibility?
Search engines treat country-code domains as a signal that a site targets Uganda, which can help local results. Content and links still matter more.
