.com.bd Domain Price & Registration in Bangladesh (2026): Cost, Documents, Steps

A .com.bd domain tells customers at a glance that you are a Bangladeshi business. Buying one is not as instant as a .com: BTCL checks documents, and prices changed in January 2026. This guide covers the current fees, what registrars charge, the documents you need and the steps to register.

.com.bd and .bd prices after BTCL's 2026 fee cut

BTCL, which runs the .bd registry, announced lower fees on 10–11 January 2026 (The Daily Star, The Financial Express):

Domain	Registration per year (old → new)	Renewal per year (old → new)
.com.bd (e.g. abc.com.bd)	৳1,100 → ৳700	৳1,600 → ৳1,020
.bd (e.g. abc.bd)	৳2,000 → ৳1,280	৳2,500 → ৳1,600

Notes from the announcement:

• VAT applies on top at the prescribed rate.
• The reduced fees apply to names longer than two characters.
• The Financial Express reported the rates as subject to conditions and for a limited period, so confirm current fees when you order.

What registrars charge

You do not have to buy directly from BTCL. Registrars (resellers) handle the application and documents and add a service margin. Examples, checked October 2026:

Registrar	.com.bd first year	.com.bd renewal	.bd first year	.bd renewal
FlexoHost	৳750	shown at checkout	৳1,350	shown at checkout
HostSeba	৳999	৳2,099	৳1,499	৳2,499

Compare both columns. A low first-year price with a renewal far above BTCL's fee means you pay more every year after.

Which .bd domain fits you?

Domain	Intended for	Typical document

Documents you need

Requirements come from BTCL and can change, but registrars currently ask for the following (HostSeba, Deshiz):

• Business (.com.bd): scanned trade licence and the NID of the authorised representative. The domain should match the registered business name.
• Individual (.bd, .info.bd): National ID card; the domain should relate to the name on the NID.
• Educational institution (.edu.bd, .ac.bd): forwarding letter, approval letter from the relevant authority, and contact details listed in the government EIIN database, plus the applicant's NID.
• NGO or non-profit (.org.bd): registration certificate (e.g. from the Department of Social Services) and the representative's NID.
• Government (.gov.bd): forwarding letter on the office letterhead and the representative's NID.

Tip: send clear, readable scans. Blurry documents are the most common reason an application comes back.

How to register a .com.bd, step by step

1. Check availability. Search your name on your registrar's domain search.
2. Order and pay. Add the .com.bd to the cart and pay with bKash, Nagad, Rocket or card. Enter the exact business name and address; the domain is registered in these details.
3. Submit documents. Upload or email the trade licence and NID scans as instructed.
4. BTCL verification. The registrar files your application. With complete documents, activation usually takes a few working days.
5. Point it to your hosting. Once active, set the nameservers to your hosting provider. Guide: how to change nameservers.

Common problems

• Application returned: documents unclear, or the domain does not match the business name. Resubmit clear scans or choose a matching name.
• Taking longer than expected: public holidays or registry delays. Ask your registrar for the application status.
• No trade licence yet: register a .bd or .com now and add the .com.bd once you have the licence.

Renewal and transfer

• Renew before the expiry date; an expired .bd domain can stop your website and email. See domain expiry and renewal.
• Changing registrar for a .bd domain follows BTCL's process with the owner's approval, not an EPP code.

Bottom line

After the 2026 fee cut, a .com.bd costs ৳700 a year at BTCL plus VAT, and around ৳750–৳1,000 for the first year through registrars. Keep your trade licence and NID scans ready, compare renewal prices, and order a few days before you need the domain live.

সাধারণ জিজ্ঞাসা (FAQ)

What is the price of a .com.bd domain in 2026?

BTCL's announced fee from January 2026 is ৳700 per year to register a .com.bd and ৳1,020 per year to renew, plus VAT. Registrars add their own service margin; for example FlexoHost charges ৳750 for the first year.

What is the price of a .bd domain?

After BTCL's January 2026 announcement, a direct .bd domain costs ৳1,280 per year to register and ৳1,600 per year to renew, plus VAT. FlexoHost's first-year price for .bd is ৳1,350.

What documents are needed for a .com.bd domain?

A business usually needs a scanned trade licence and the NID of the authorised person, and the domain should match the business name. Individuals, schools, NGOs and government offices need different documents, listed in this guide.

How long does .com.bd registration take?

BTCL verifies documents manually, so activation usually takes a few working days after payment and complete documents. It is not instant like a .com.

Can I register a .com.bd without a trade licence?

.com.bd is meant for businesses, so a trade licence is normally required. Individuals can consider .bd (with NID) or a .com instead. Ask your registrar before ordering.

Can I transfer a .com.bd domain to another company?

Yes, but not with an EPP code like .com. The change of registrar follows BTCL's process with the owner's approval; your new registrar handles the paperwork.
