TL;DR. https://moci.gov.lr is the site of the Ministry of Commerce & Industry, and www.moci.gov.lr is the same site. It is a ministry site rather than a company-register search form. A homepage link points to https://lbr.gov.lr, whose domain still exists but which did not respond when last checked, at either its secure or its plain address. No search screen could be reached behind it, so fees are unknown rather than free; confirm at source.
What is the official Liberia business registry?
The host that answers is https://moci.gov.lr, titled Home | Ministry of Commerce & Industry, in English. The page is ministry navigation (departments, publications, import procedures) rather than a company-name search form.
The homepage includes a useful-links entry pointing at https://lbr.gov.lr. That host did not respond when last checked, at either its secure or its plain address, although its domain still resolves. No Liberia Business Registry search screen, fee or result field could be confirmed behind it; confirm at source.
LISCR (Liberian International Ship and Corporate Registry) is a separate offshore and shipping register. It is not the domestic search path that the Ministry of Commerce and Industry covers.

Alternatives if you cannot use a register search
