.bz Domain Registration — What You Get
.bz is the country code for Belize, introduced on 3 September 1991. The IANA record lists the University of Belize as sponsoring organisation, and the registry operates as Belizenic from Belmopan.
Registrations are direct at the second level, with optional third-level labels such as com.bz, net.bz and org.bz that remain open; nothing forces a business onto com.bz. The zone also allows internationalised names with a wide range of non-ASCII characters.
The delegation is DNSSEC-signed in the root zone, and disputes run under the standard UDRP policy.
Who Can Register a .bz Domain Name
Anyone can register a .bz name from anywhere, including India: the registry applies no territorial restriction and no document check, and names are awarded first-come, first-served.
- No Belize address, company or citizenship is needed — an Indian registrant supplies Indian contact details.
- Direct second-level names like example.bz sit alongside optional com.bz, net.bz and org.bz labels.
- Internationalised names are accepted, so non-ASCII labels are possible.
- Premium names carry registry premium pricing, quoted before you pay.
What a .bz Domain Is Used For
Marketers have long sold .bz as standing for "business" — an American reseller once fought ICANN over the .biz launch on exactly that claim — and the zone is used for a random assortment of sites with no Belize connection.
Two communities use it heavily: Bolzano province in Italy, where BZ is the provincial abbreviation and Bolzano sites pair .bz with .bz.it, and gaming servers, where the BZFlag community adopted the extension.
For an Indian buyer it works as a short two-letter alternative when the .com is taken, with the honest caveat that visitors may read it as Belize rather than business.

.bz Renewal, Transfer and Expiry Rules
Renewals run in the same year blocks at the renewal band, and reminders go to the registrant email, so keep that address reachable and use auto-renew.
After expiry the name passes through a grace and redemption sequence before release — a renewal grace window, then redemption where recovery costs an extra fee, then deletion. A dropped .bz is not held for the previous owner.
Transfers move with an authorisation code taken from the current registrar, and WebJi bills a .bz transfer at ₹2,802. As a country code, .bz sits outside the ICANN 60-day rule that governs .com, but registries apply their own locks after registration or transfer.
.bz vs .com and .in for an Indian Business
The extension is not a ranking factor: content and links decide placement. Choose .bz only for a short two-letter name or a specific community fit; keep .com for a global brand and .in or .co.in when Indian identity is the point.
Because .bz reads as Belize to some visitors, treat it as a redirect or community name rather than a primary brand extension.
- .bz — Belize's open code, ₹2,802 a year, renewal ₹3,389.
- .com — global default, ₹1,380/year, renewal ₹1,480.
