.bd domain extension

The .bd domain is the country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Bangladesh. It is managed by the Posts and Telecommunications Division under the Ministry of Posts, Telecommunications and Information Technology of the Government of Bangladesh. Registration services are handled by the Bangladesh Telecommunications Company Limited (BTCL). There are eligibility restrictions. Only entities with a registered presence in Bangladesh, such as companies, organizations, or individuals with a local address, can register a .bd domain. The application process requires submitting official documents. Two name servers run by BTCL and one operated by PCH support the domain's infrastructure. The domain was introduced on May 20, 1999.

The IANA record does not provide a distinct historical narrative beyond the registration date and current management structure. The registry shows a stable, government-run operation since its inception.
