How to Register a .bd Domain in Bangladesh: Step-by-Step Guide

Registering a .bd domain in Bangladesh is quick once you know the steps — but unlike a generic .com, a .bd domain requires identity verification because it is a country-code domain managed by BTCL (Bangladesh Telecommunications Company Limited). This guide walks you through the whole process, from searching a name to getting your domain activated and verified.

What you need before you start

To register any .bd or .বাংলা domain, you must be able to show a Bangladeshi presence and submit valid identity documents within 3 days of registration:

• Individuals: National ID (NID) or passport.
• Businesses: Trade licence (required for .com.bd).
• Organisations/NGOs: Registration certificate.
• Educational institutions: EIIN or UGC approval (for .edu.bd).

See the full breakdown on our .bd domain documents page. Having these ready before you start means your domain gets verified without interruption.

Step 1: Search for an available name

Head to the .bd domain search and type the name you want. get.bd checks availability in real time against BTCL, so you instantly see whether a name is free across .bd, .com.bd, .net.bd, .org.bd and other extensions. If your first choice is taken, try a shorter variation or a different extension.

Step 2: Choose the right extension

Bangladesh offers several .bd extensions, each with a slightly different purpose:

• .bd — the premium, short direct namespace (e.g. example.bd), open to anyone with a Bangladeshi presence.
• .com.bd — the standard choice for commercial businesses (requires a trade licence).
• .net.bd, .org.bd — for network services and organisations.
• .বাংলা — the Bengali-script namespace for local branding.

Not sure which to pick? Read our comparison of .bd vs .com.bd. One thing to note: the .bd direct namespace can be registered for up to 4 years at a time, while other extensions allow up to 10 years.

Step 3: Create your account and pay

Add the domain to your cart, choose your registration period, and create your get.bd account. Payment is fast and local — you can pay with bKash, Nagad, bank transfer (BEFTN/NPSB), or credit/debit card. As soon as payment is confirmed, your domain is registered and technically active, pending document verification.

Step 4: Submit your verification documents

Within 3 days of registration, upload your identity documents through the client area. This is the step most first-timers forget — and it matters:

Uploading is a two-minute job once you have your NID, passport, or trade licence scanned. Full rules are on our .bd domain registration policy page.

Step 5: Verification and activation

Standard verification takes 24–72 hours on business days. Because your domain is registered the moment you pay, you can set up DNS and start pointing it to your website or hosting straight away using our free DNS management panel — verification runs in parallel.

How much does a .bd domain cost?

Pricing is set by BTCL and is very affordable. As a guide, .com.bd, .net.bd and .org.bd start from ৳805/year, the premium .bd namespace is ৳1,472/year, and .বাংলা starts from ৳460/year. See the full list on our .bd domain pricing page.

What to do after registration

Once your domain is live, point it at your hosting, set up email, and note your renewal date. If you're moving an existing domain instead, read how to transfer a .bd domain. New to the namespace entirely? Start with what is a .bd domain.
