About .rw

.rw is the official country-code domain for Rwanda, 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 .rw are increasingly used to signal a genuine Rwanda presence to customers, partners, and search engines alike.

Choosing a name for .rw

If you're registering .rw for a business or organization actually based in Rwanda, 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 Rwanda, pairing .rw with a .com version of the same name is common practice.
