Buy .com.ug Domain Name

Anyone. The rulebook sets no condition on nationality, residence or registration in Uganda, and asks for neither a local contact nor documents. You can register from outside Uganda. The registry enters the holder's contact details in the public WHOIS database and requires them to be accurate and current.

On paper there is none: both are official namespaces of the same registry under the same rulebook. The difference is only in how the name is written: .co.ug is shorter, while .com.ug is the form an international reader recognises as commercial. On both zones, registration and renewal fees are not refunded.

Two characters. Two-character names are open for registration under .com.ug while single-character names are unavailable; a name may be 2 - 63 characters long. That is where this zone parts from .ug, where two-letter names are reserved. Registration and renewal fees are not refunded, so check the spelling before you order.

No. The registry publishes no documentation on internationalised domain names, and labels with non-ASCII letters are not accepted. In practice you cannot use accented or non-Latin letters directly and must build the label from ASCII characters. Letters, digits and hyphens are allowed, and a hyphen may not open the label. If your brand contains accented letters, settle on an ASCII spelling before you order.

The name enters a grace period on its expiry date and can still be renewed there at the standard rate; that period lasts one month. Miss the window and the name is released for re-registration, so anyone may take it. The rulebook defines no separate redemption stage and no penalty recovery fee, so there is no second chance. Registration and renewal fees are excluded from refunds as well. Long terms do work in this zone, and thinning out the calendar is a practical safeguard.

A transfer runs on two-sided consent. The rulebook states it plainly: the move only completes when both the losing and the gaining party approve it. The gaining registrar starts the process from its own registry account, and the losing registrar confirms it through a link sent to the address registered with the registry. To block unauthorised moves the registry applies a registrar lock, and nothing proceeds until that lock is lifted. Start the process from the domain transfer page.
