Own your name. Build your place online.
Start with a Ugandan domain people recognise, then add the website, hosting, email, and server tools your next stage requires. One account. A clear path from idea to launch.
What should customers type to find you?
Search your business name across Uganda’s most useful extensions.
Lead with Uganda. Add global reach when it helps.
A local domain can make your market clear before anyone opens the site. Put `.ug` or `.co.ug` at the centre of your brand, and protect the matching global name if you plan to trade beyond Uganda.
.ug
A concise national address for Ugandan brands, organisations, and projects.
.co.ug
A familiar choice for businesses selling, serving, or operating in Uganda.
.com
Useful when your audience or ambitions extend across borders.
.or.ug
A clear home for associations, charities, and mission-led groups.
Buy only what moves the business forward.
Your first need may be a one-page website. The next could be branded email, an online shop, or a server for an application. Keep each service under one roof and expand without rebuilding from zero.
Domains
Secure your name, manage DNS, and keep renewals visible from the same account.
Claim a name →Web hosting
Host a company site, blog, portfolio, or WordPress project with a control panel that keeps everyday tasks within reach.
See web hosting →Website builder
Turn a business description into a working starting point, then edit the words, pages, colours, and offers before publishing.
Build a website →Online shops
Organise products, publish a storefront, and manage incoming orders without commissioning a custom build first.
Start an online shop →Business email
Use an address such as [email protected] so quotations, invoices, and customer replies carry your business name.
Set up business email →Cloud servers
Move to dedicated resources when you need more control for applications, client projects, automation, or heavier traffic.
Compare VPS options →Three sensible ways to get online.
Choose according to the work you want to do now. You can add resources later when traffic, products, or technical requirements change.
Managed website start
Use a guided builder when speed and simplicity matter more than server-level control.
- Visual page editing
- Mobile-ready layouts
- Connect your own domain
Shared web hosting
A practical home for established websites that need files, databases, email tools, and a familiar control panel.
- Install popular site software
- Manage files and databases
- Upgrade as the site grows
Cloud VPS
Choose isolated server resources when your stack, workload, or deployment process needs deeper control.
- Root-level server access
- Flexible software setup
- Resources sized to workload
The essentials stay connected after launch.
A website is not a one-time file. Domains renew. DNS changes. Teams add mailboxes. Traffic grows. Truehost keeps those moving parts accessible from one service relationship, with help available when a routine task becomes a technical one.
Questions Ugandan founders ask before launch.
Short answers to the decisions that usually come first.
Should I choose .ug or .co.ug?
Choose `.ug` when you want the shortest national identity. Choose `.co.ug` when you want an address that immediately signals a Ugandan company or commercial operation. Many businesses check both and protect the matching name where it makes sense.
Can I register a domain before the website is ready?
Yes. Registering the name first prevents someone else from taking it while you prepare the website. You can connect hosting, email, or a builder after the domain is in your account.
What is the difference between a domain and web hosting?
The domain is the address people enter, such as yourbrand.co.ug. Hosting stores and serves the pages, files, and databases behind that address. A working website normally uses both.
Can I move an existing website to Truehost Uganda?
Yes. The exact move depends on the site software, current host, email setup, and domain configuration. Contact support with those details so the team can advise on the safest sequence.
Do I need a VPS for a normal business website?
Usually not at the beginning. Shared hosting or a website builder is enough for many company sites. A VPS becomes useful when you need custom server software, isolated resources, or control that shared hosting does not provide.
