Bangladesh’s digital identity is getting a major upgrade! The registry is officially releasing the .bd top-level domain. This move allows businesses and users to register names directly to the left of the dot (e.g., yourbrand.bd). As with previous global shifts like this, securing your brand early is crucial. We’re here to give you all the information you need to establish your presence in this growth market.
Joining the country-code club.
Bangladesh is the latest country to streamline its domain structure. In the past, many countries required third-level domains like .co.uk or .com.au. However, as the internet evolves, the consensus is that shorter is better. When the United Kingdom opened direct .uk registrations, it created a massive rush for the shorter version of British websites. In 2022, Australia launched direct .au, giving businesses a modern alternative to .com.au.
Just like with the launches of .uk and .au, the launch of .bd represents a modernization of the country’s internet. It is an opportunity to upgrade your legacy Bangladesh domain to the modern standard.
