Domains are useful for business and personal use, for having your own website, online shop and email address.

The Second Level Domain space allows registrations of one name part before the .GH with no specialization e.g. example.gh.

The third level domain space allows registration of two name parts before the .GH that is, example.com.gh, which defines the function or specialization of the institution, that is com.gh for companies; org.gh for organizations; gov.gh for government institutions; edu.gh for educational institutions.

When you register a domain it is usually registered for an initial period of either 1 year or up to 5 years. Upon expiry of the initial registration period, you need to renew your domain. The domain remains yours as long as it registered and active.
