.ba is available for public register

After more than 20 years .ba ccTLD of Bosnia and Herzegovina is available for non-residents with instant activation without paperwork.

Country: Bosnia and Herzegovina
Continent: Europe
Registry (English): https://nic.ba/?culture=en

Fun fact: Guy holds Microsoft.ba domain for years, and Microsoft can't get it in ownership. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13819726

 

🇧🇦 on the MAP ..is there a marketplace you know that supports the extension?

 

I presume he will be in the cow pat now then........

 

Lamb lamb lol ..but I don’t see a reason why he/she wouldn’t sell smh

 

Not a question of selling more why Microsoft haven't filed a TM complaint.....

I wonder why they can't/couldn't claim it via an UDRP as the OP suggested? They have had a registered office in Bosnia since around 2006, so they are trading in the country....... so does mean it is classified as residence status?

Not sure as I am not a legal exert or Bosnian National.........

 

I thought that’s what he meant ..the TM for some reason didn’t apply because in some situations it’s still protected

 

Well they are not part of the EU (they have applied though) so I suppose it would come down to country TM laws (and not EU law) and how they are applied.......

 

They should just sell it to the rightful owners lol

 

Some registrar for .ba (they are using WHMCS so you can change language to English):

• Leftor (fastest support+english): https://www.podrska.leftor.com/whmcs/aff.php?aff=250 (aff)
• Global: https://www.global.ba/ap/cart.php?a=add&domain=register
• Vrh: https://www.vrh.ba/domene.php
• Registracija domena: https://registracijadomena.ba/
• Genesis: https://store.genesis.ba/cart.php?a=add&domain=register

 

IMO this is getting quite pointless having ccTLDs if non-residents can register them.

 

It must be annoying owning an international company when a new extension is released onto the marketplace. The only people who profit are the registries, domainers and lawyers.

 

Who on the map again Craig ? & @Samer talking about “cancel culture” ..I’m not gonna lie even this “fake news” made me happy when I saw it lol

 

You on the map.
Not sure what you mean about fake news... just making a point in reference specifically to international companies and TM laws.

 

Lol I wish ...but I was only implying by “fake news” that even if I personally love the extension I don’t think it’s huge news to a domain world ..there is way tooo many extensions lol

 

Godaddy sedo epik dont support the .ba extension

Which might be why

 

whats the best and cheapest registrar to use that accepts .ba extension?

 

@platey .ba was only open to local bosnian registrars. New international registrars can apply now.

 

try

 

You can catch some premium keywords before they're gone or maybe set to premium prices. Be quick.
