Nepal has a growing community of students, developers, startups, businesses, and organizations working to build their presence online. However, buying domains, web hosting, and VPS services from international providers can be hard for Nepali customers.
International payment restrictions, high foreign-currency card costs, and limited payment methods make it difficult for many people in Nepal to buy these services directly.
As a result, many people rely on third-party resellers. Resellers can be useful, but prices vary a lot, pricing is not always clear, and customers may worry about privacy, account ownership, renewals, and long-term control over their services.
For students, independent developers, and organizations that need reliable VPS infrastructure, these barriers make building online projects harder than it should be.
What we want
We ask international domain registrars and hosting providers, including Namecheap, Spaceship, Hostinger, GoDaddy, and others, to consider making their services more accessible to customers in Nepal.
- 🇳🇵 Local payment methods: support for eSewa, Khalti, and other suitable Nepali payment options.
- 🏦 Direct bank payments: convenient payment methods for customers who cannot easily use international cards.
- 💳 Transparent pricing: clear final prices, currency conversion costs, and renewal charges.
- 🌐 Direct purchasing: the ability to buy and manage domains and hosting through official provider websites instead of depending on third-party resellers.
- 💻 Accessible VPS hosting: easier access to affordable virtual private servers for developers, startups, and organizations.
- 🔒 Account ownership and privacy: clear ownership, secure account management, and transparent reseller practices.
- 🎓 Opportunities for students: more accessible infrastructure and developer-friendly programs for Nepal’s next generation of technology creators.
Why Nepal matters
Nepal has talented developers, ambitious students, innovative startups, and businesses ready to join the global digital economy. Access to reliable domains and hosting is an important part of turning ideas into real products.
We are not asking for special treatment. We are asking for fairer access, more payment choices, transparent pricing, and the ability to buy directly from trusted international providers.
