East Africa & Regional ccTLDs
East African businesses benefit greatly from using their country-specific domain extensions. These ccTLDs improve local trust, regional SEO, and brand recognition within their markets.
| Country | ccTLD | Common Uses | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kenya | .ke, .co.ke | Businesses, startups, NGOs | Strong local trust and SEO benefits |
| Uganda | .ug, .co.ug | Companies and institutions | Popular for national brands |
| Tanzania | .tz, .co.tz | Local commerce and services | Some registrations require local presence |
| Rwanda | .rw | Tech startups, NGOs | Simple structure, growing adoption |
| South Sudan | .ss | Organizations and regional projects | Limited availability; policies may vary |
| Ethiopia | .et | Government, education, enterprises | Often requires local registration or documentation |
If your business serves multiple East African countries, many brands choose a .com for global reach while using country domains (like .ke or .ug) for localized marketing campaigns.
⚠ Important:
Some East African ccTLDs (such as .et and .tz) may require proof of local presence or additional documentation. Jiinubi can guide you through eligibility and registration requirements.
