About the .BD domain
What is the .BD domain?
A structural peculiarity sets .bd apart from most ccTLDs: direct domain registration under .bd is not allowed. All registrations occur at the third level, under several second-level labels — com, edu, ac, net, gov, and mil — similar to the structure of the internet's oldest gTLDs. Registration is open under com.bd, net.bd, org.bd, edu.bd, and ac.bd, while gov.bd and mil.bd are reserved exclusively for authorized Bangladeshi government entities. Individuals must submit scanned copies of both sides of their National Identity Card (NID), plus an active mobile number and email address; organizations must provide a valid trade license, and foreign entities must additionally demonstrate genuine business activity in Bangladesh.
There is no direct registration under .bd: domains are registered at the third level, under labels such as .com.bd, .net.bd, .org.bd, .edu.bd, .ac.bd, or .gov.bd (the last two restricted to authorized government and educational entities). Individuals must provide a copy of their national ID card (NID); foreign entities must prove business activity in Bangladesh. Check with our team to confirm availability and exact requirements.
