.bb
country-code
.bb is the country-code top-level domain for Barbados, managed by the Ministry of Innovation, Science and Smart Technology through its Telecommunications Unit. The registry office is based in Warrens, St. Michael. Registration is open to entities with a local presence in Barbados, though some categories may have specific eligibility rules. The domain has been active since September 1991. The administrative and technical contacts are government officials, reflecting its role as a national asset. There are four name servers providing redundancy. The registry website offers Whois lookup services for checking domain registration details. Over the years, .bb has been used by Barbadian businesses, organizations, and individuals for local online identity. The current steward took over through a redelegation in 2007, moving it under the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Development's Telecommunications Unit at that time.
Eligibility and restrictions
The .bb domain is generally restricted to registrants with a legitimate connection to Barbados, such as local businesses, organizations, or residents. Specific eligibility criteria may apply for subdomains or certain categories. The registry requires a local administrative contact.
