About .be

The .be domain is the country code top-level domain for Belgium. It is managed by DNS Belgium vzw/asbl, a nonprofit organization based in Leuven. As a ccTLD, .be is open to any individual or organization worldwide, with no special eligibility requirements. It serves as the primary online identifier for businesses, institutions, and residents connected to Belgium. The registry provides a stable and trusted namespace, supporting both local and international use. One of the oldest ccTLDs, .be was delegated in August 1988, just a few years after the early expansion of the internet.

History

Delegated on August 5, 1988, .be is one of the earliest country-code domains. It was initially managed by the University of Leuven before transitioning to DNS Belgium in 2000. The domain has seen steady growth, reflecting Belgium's early adoption of internet infrastructure.
