01 / Overview

What is .bg?

.bg is the country code domain of Bulgaria. Bulgaria also has a separate Cyrillic country code, .бг, for names in the Bulgarian script.

.bg has an eligibility check. Anyone can apply, but the registry may ask you to show a reason for the name, such as a company name or trademark that matches it. Rules can change. Check the registry before you register. You may need company papers or a trademark certificate that matches the name. Send us the papers on WhatsApp or email and we handle the registry side.

A Pakistani software firm that opened a branch in Sofia can register its company name under .bg. That is the kind of use .bg is built for.

Terms run from 1 to 10 years. Longer terms lock in the price and avoid yearly reminders. Once a name expires, recovery depends on registry rules.

Moving .bg to DomainWalay is simple. Unlock the domain at your current provider, get the auth code (also called EPP code), and start the transfer here. Most transfers finish in 5 to 10 days.
