About .ao

.ao is the official country-code domain for Angola, one of the ccTLDs delegated by IANA to a national registry across the African continent. As internet adoption across the region keeps growing, local-extension domains like .ao are increasingly used to signal a genuine Angola presence to customers, partners, and search engines alike.

Choosing a name for .ao

If you're registering .ao for a business or organization actually based in Angola, keep the name closely aligned with your registered brand or trading name — that's the strongest use case for a ccTLD. For an international audience beyond Angola, pairing .ao with a .com version of the same name is common practice.
