.bv domain extension

The .bv top-level domain is the country-code for Bouvet Island. It is operated by Norid A/S, a Norwegian registry based in Trondheim. The domain is set aside for the Norwegian territory of Bouvet Island in the South Atlantic. Registration of .bv domains is not open to the public. Norid has chosen not to make this TLD available for commercial use. The domain remains reserved for potential future administrative purposes or policy decisions related to the island. As of 2025, no registrations are accepted under .bv. The record dates back to 1997, when the domain was delegated in the IANA root zone. Because the territory has no permanent population, there has never been a pressing need to open it up. It sits as a territorial placeholder managed alongside other Norwegian ccTLDs like .no and .sj.
