How to register a .com.bd domain

What you need before registering a .com.bd domain, and how the process differs from a generic extension like .com.

Last updated

01Why .com.bd is different from .com

A generic extension like .com, .net, or .xyz is open to anyone, anywhere, and registers in seconds. .com.bd is Bangladesh's local country-code extension, which means the registry checks a few things about who's registering it before the domain goes live — it isn't guaranteed to activate instantly the way a .com does.

That check is what makes .com.bd worth having if you're a Bangladeshi business: visitors and other businesses recognise it as a domain that's actually tied to a local, verifiable presence, rather than one anyone anywhere could have picked up.

This is a property of the .com.bd registry itself, not something WebX adds on top — the same eligibility check applies no matter which registrar you go through.

02What you need before you start

The documents/details required to register a .com.bd domain — details coming soon. Check with support for the exact values to use.

Have these ready before you begin — submitting a registration without them just means we have to come back and ask, which adds delay rather than saving it.

03Register the domain

  • Search for your domain with .com.bd selected, either from the domains page or the search box at the top of the site.
  • Add it to your order and complete checkout. The registration price you see is the same one billed — nothing is added afterward.
  • If we need any of the documents above, we'll ask for them at this point or shortly after, by email or through a portal ticket.

04After you register

Because .com.bd goes through a registry-level check, it isn't guaranteed to resolve the moment you pay the way an international extension can. We'll let you know as soon as it's active, and you can also check its status from the domain's page in the client portal at any time.

Once it's live, it behaves exactly like any other domain in your account — you can point it at WebX hosting, manage its DNS, or transfer it later, the same way you would a .com.

05Already have a .com?

You don't have to choose between .com and .com.bd. Plenty of businesses hold both — the .com for anyone typing your brand from memory, and the .com.bd for local search and for customers who specifically look for a Bangladeshi presence. Registering both also keeps a lookalike domain out of a competitor's hands.
