Clients will generally ask me the difference between a .com and a .com.sg domain name. Well, one of the fundamental difference is that they are managed by different organisations.
SGNIC manages all .sg domain names. There are basically the following types of .sg domains and each has its own unique purposes
| Domain Extensions |
Purpose |
| .com.sg |
This category is for commercial entities which are either registered or are about to be registered with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA), IE Singapore or any professional bodies. A foreign company, which is not so registered, may only apply for such a Page 2 2 domain name if it appoints a locally registered entity as its administrative contact. The foreign Registrant is required to submit a duly authorised letter to confirm the appointment of the locally registered entity. Government bodies which register their names in the .gov.sg suffix may, if they deem necessary, register the same name, their acronyms and/or their service/scheme names in this category. |
| .net.sg |
This category is for info-comm operators or network providers in Singapore |
| .org.sg |
This category is for applicants which are either registered or are
about to be registered with the Registry of Societies (e.g. community clubs,
