How'd you register the .ng domain? Is it possible to get a straight .ng domain with out the '.com'? All the sites that offer .ng seem very sketchy and I'm skeptical of trying.

101domain.com offers it (along with practically every TLD): http://www.101domain.com/ng.htm

Yea, at 50k a year! Maybe that's just the market, but seems a bit high ;0

Actually it's this: http://www.101domain.com/com_ng.htm

Like KingOfB, I wonder why "domain.ng" costs $50,000/year!

Edit: Apparently, they're banking on the extension being attractive for things like "im.facebooki.ng". Hmmm.

Nah, they just want Microsoft to buy bi.ng ;)
