Domain Name REGISTRATION
N15000 – N25000 per year.
Owing to the increase in the exchange rate, this is the price you are most likely to pay for a name that is free and available for registration.
However, you may want a name that is already taken by someone else. For that, you will have to place a backorder for it (that is contracting a domain broker like Godaddy or Namecheap to purchase it for you as soon as it is free).
This costs about $69. But if you are buying from another individual, then the price can be a lot higher – running into thousands of dollars.
Generally, if you don’t have a specific need for a particular name, just choose an alternative.
Personally, my normal strategy for getting the names I want is to go for the .tech .store or .shop extension.
For example, when I was launching a new startup, I wanted www.chowline.com but of course, that wasn’t available and I couldn’t change the name of the business, so I simply opted for chowline.store. And the site went on to do quite well. You too may apply this same strategy.
