Buy a .ug domain name easily and affordably
The .ug extension is the official country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Uganda. It's a practical choice for a broad range of users — businesses operating in Uganda, organisations targeting Ugandan audiences, NGOs, government bodies, and startups working across East Africa. Registering a .ug domain signals local relevance and can help build trust with regional customers.
International companies looking to enter the Ugandan market also find it a worthwhile move, as a .ug domain can support local search visibility and strengthen brand recognition in the region. At Site.eu, the registration process is straightforward and fast, so you can get your domain set up and online without unnecessary hassle.

Everything you need to know about a .ug domain name transfer
Transferring a .ug domain doesn't need to be a drawn-out process. At Site.eu, we've kept things as clear and manageable as possible, whether you're moving a single domain from another provider or bringing several domains together under one account.
How to transfer a .ug domain in just a few simple steps
To get started, visit our website and place your transfer order through the ordering system. You'll be guided through each step clearly. Before you begin, make sure your domain is unlocked at your current registrar and that you have your authorisation code to hand. If anything is unclear along the way, our support team is available to help you through it.
Features of the .ug domain extension
The .ug extension gives domain holders a reasonable level of administrative control. You can update DNS records, change nameservers, and modify the domain holder details as needed. One thing to be aware of: .ug does not support domain lock, so it's worth taking that into account when thinking about your domain's security setup. At Site.eu, these management options are accessible directly through your control panel.
Character length and IDN support
A .ug domain name must be at least 3 characters long, with a maximum of 63 characters — which leaves plenty of room for most naming needs. That said, the .ug extension does not support Internationalized Domain Names (IDN), meaning names that use non-Latin characters or special scripts aren't available. If you're planning to register a domain in a language that relies on a non-Latin alphabet, this is an important limitation to keep in mind.
