Protect your brand before someone else registers it
Scammers and squatters look for the markets you haven't covered yet. We map your name across Africa's national domains, the global extensions and the lookalikes, then register and manage the ones that matter in one portfolio.
What an unprotected name costs
Buying a domain before a problem is cheap. Recovering it afterwards takes time, lawyers and lost customers.
Typosquatting
Misspelt versions of your name catch customers who mistype, then show ads or malware.
Phishing and fake shops
A lookalike domain sends convincing emails in your name or takes payments for goods you never ship.
Blocked expansion
You're ready to launch in Kenya or Nigeria and find your name there already taken, or offered back at a price.
Lapsed renewals
A forgotten domain expires and is re-registered by someone watching for exactly that.
Three layers of coverage
Most brands don't need every extension. We recommend layers in order of risk, so you can stop where it makes sense for your budget.
1. Core
Your .com and your home country's commercial domain, such as .co.tz or .com.ng. The names customers type first.
2. Markets
The national domain in every country where you sell or plan to, plus .africa if you operate across borders.
3. Defensive
Common misspellings, hyphenated versions and product names that would make convincing fakes.

Brand protection questions
Do I need to register every extension?
No. Most brands are well covered by their core names, the national domains of the markets they sell in, and a few high-risk lookalikes. The review ranks names by risk so you can choose.
Does registering a domain protect my trademark?
No. A domain registration doesn't create trademark rights, and a trademark doesn't reserve domains automatically. The two work together: the trademark gives you legal standing, and the domains stop others using the name online.
Someone already holds my brand name. What can I do?
If they registered it in bad faith, dispute processes may apply: the UDRP for most generic domains, or the relevant ccTLD dispute policy for country domains. We can point you to the right process, and a lawyer can advise on the case.
Can you register names in countries where I have no local company?
Some zones, such as .co.za and .co.ug, accept foreign registrants. Others need a local presence or documents. The review notes which of your target markets have requirements.
How is the portfolio billed?
Each domain is billed at its standard registration and renewal price. You can pay by card, bank transfer or mobile money, and every renewal is listed in one client area with reminders before expiry.
