analysis .bd - Bangladesh - ccTLD (Country-Code Top-Level Domain)

[Eric Lyon]

I was about to dive into the .bd ccTLD and found that only 3rd level domain are allowed to be registered. Since these deep dives I'm doing are geared for top-level domains, I'll be passing on this research and moving onto the nbext ccTLD.

.bd is the ccTLD for Bangladesh. It is managed by the Posts and Telecommunications Division of the Ministry of Posts, Telecommunications and Information Technology of Bangladesh.[1] Bangladesh Telecommunications Company Limited (BTCL) has been delegated the power to maintain the .bd registration service.[2]

Rules and Restrictions
A domain directly under .bd is not allowed. Registrations are at the third level beneath several second-level labels (com, edu, ac, net, gov, org, and mil), paralleling the oldest gTLDs; registration is open except in the gov and mil subdomains, which are limited to authorized entities in the Bangladesh government. There is no online registration facility for .bd domains.

Note: That was unfortunate! Skipping this one and moving onto the next one that allows top-level registrations.
