About the .BD domain

What is the .BD domain?

.bd is the country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) of Bangladesh, registered with IANA on May 20, 1999. It is managed by the Ministry of Posts, Telecommunications and Information Technology of the Government of Bangladesh, through Bangladesh Telecommunications Company Limited (BTCL), which operates the registry and technical operations.

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.
