Every public institution's online presence sits under .gov.gh, a namespace reserved for bodies established by statute or executive instrument. NITA issues, delegates and revokes these names, and operates the authoritative DNS for the zone.
The naming policy exists so that citizens can trust what they are looking at: a .gov.gh address is evidence that the service behind it belongs to the state.
How it works

Eligibility
Confirm the institution's legal basis and appoint a designated CIO contact.
- Step 2
Request
Submit the name request endorsed by the head of institution.
- Step 3
Validation
NITA checks the name against the naming conventions and existing delegations.
- Step 4
Delegation
Nameservers are delegated and DNS change requests handled from the CIO account.
