.ug Domain Registrations

The .ug domain extension is the official country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Uganda, managed by the Uganda Internet Exchange Point (UIXP) and administered by the Communications Commission of Uganda. In operation since 1995, .ug serves as the national digital identity for Ugandan businesses, government agencies, NGOs, universities, and individuals. Uganda is one of East Africa's fastest-growing digital economies, with a young, entrepreneurial population and a rapidly expanding technology and startup ecosystem centred on Kampala. The .ug domain carries strong local recognition and credibility with Ugandan internet users, making it an essential asset for any business seeking a genuine presence in the East African market. The .ug extension is open to all registrants worldwide with no restrictions, making it accessible to international organisations operating in Uganda, development agencies, NGOs, and brands looking to establish a presence across the East African region.
