For the ordinary end-user, www.nic.gh or www.ghana.com are indeed
equivalent and provide the same experience (although www.ghana.com
will resolve faster because all the name servers work).

But for the registrant, as Phil explained well, it is *not* the same
thing to be subject to the laws of California (ICANNland, USA),
Virginia (Verisignland, USA) or of his own country!
