.bd domain is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Bangladesh. .bd domain registration is administered by the Ministry of Post & Telecommunications of Bangladesh. Bangladesh Telecommunications Company Ltd (BTCL) has been delegated the power to maintain the .bd registration service.
A domain directly under .bd is not allowed. Registrations are at the third level beneath several second-level labels (com, edu, ac, net, gov, org), paralleling the oldest gTLDs; registration is open except in the Gov., which is limited to authorized entities in the Bangladesh government.
There is no online registration facility for .bd domains.
Any person/organization from all over the world can apply for registration of a domain with .bd. It takes 5/6 working days to activate the domain upon submitting the order. .bd domain can be registered initially for two years and subsequently renewable for further periods of one year. XeonBD is the authorized .bd Domain name registration service provider of BTCL.
Why register a .bd domain?
Bangladesh’s economy is one of the most powerful and fastest growing in Asia. In spite of the natural calamities that the country went through during the last decade, the economy remained resilient and sustainable. In the financial year 2016, the top financial leaders eye to Bangladesh for making a high margin of investments next to China. The workforce is highly qualified and the environment is very suitable for business operations.
If you have a company planning to invest in Bangladesh more for expanding your business or you are an individual planning to start a small company, a .bd website is a must-have:
- Represent your company name in a professional manner. .bd domain makes it possible to introduce your products/services on a website that is specifically made for the Bengali market.
- Having a .bd domain named website seems much more trustworthy among the visitor or clients and the website also automatically implies that your business is legally operating. Only authorized entities can register a .bd website but XeonBD can help you with the .bd domain registration process. Contact us now.
- .bd domain suffix is good for domain hacking. If you think through the other angle and also apart from Bangladesh, you can also use it to mean Big Deal for selling products or broker-dealer for trading.
- Boost organic SEO and make local targeting easier. Bengalis prefer to shop online from locally owned websites. So think about this impotent fact, Bengali consumers are automatically directed to www.google.com.bd when using Google. This version of Google shows local results which means that your .bd website will likely appear on top of the results.
- Choose a profitable keyword for your domain name. .bd country code extension is still available for countless unused domain names. So you can still register a short and correctly-spelled website name.
