.bz registration
.bz is the country-code domain extension for Belize. Registration is open on a first-come, first-served basis and does not involve a special registry procedure. A domain label must contain between 2 and 63 characters, giving individuals, businesses, and organizations room for both short names and longer descriptive addresses. The extension is particularly relevant to businesses, services, publications, and community projects connected with Belize. It can also serve projects that want a concise alternative when their preferred name is unavailable under a more crowded extension. The name should still make the project’s purpose and audience clear. Registering a .bz domain through host.yt is straightforward: search for the name, confirm that it is available, and submit the order. Because allocation follows the first-come, first-served rule, an available name is not reserved until its registration has been successfully completed. To transfer an existing .bz domain to host.yt, first remove any transfer lock or protection at the current registrar and request the domain’s authorization code. Submit that code with the transfer order. Processing can take several days, and a completed transfer adds one year to the domain’s existing expiry date. Holder changes are handled through a separate ownership-change procedure.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .bz domain extension stand for?
bz is the country-code top-level domain assigned to Belize. It gives websites a direct geographic association with the country, although it can also be used by projects seeking a short, distinctive domain ending that fits their name or identity.
Who can register a .bz domain?
bz registration is open and follows a first-come, first-served allocation model. Individuals, companies, and organizations may apply for an available name. A local address or presence in Belize is not part of the registration procedure described for this extension.
Are there restrictions or documents required to register .bz?
There is no special registry procedure or document submission required for a standard .bz registration. The requested name must be available, and its label must contain between 2 and 63 characters. Registration is completed on a first-come, first-served basis.
Is .bz a good choice, and what projects suit it?
bz is a practical choice for businesses, organizations, media, tourism services, and community projects associated with Belize. It can also work for a concise brand name when the matching .com is unavailable, provided visitors can easily understand and remember the address.
When does .bz make more sense than .com?
bz makes more sense when a clear Belize connection is important or when a short, relevant name is available under .bz but not under .com. .com offers broader global familiarity, while .bz provides stronger geographic distinction and may require more explanation for audiences outside Belize.
How quickly is a .bz domain registered, and how long does it last?
A .bz name is allocated after the registration order is successfully processed, provided it remains available under the first-come, first-served rule. Its registration term and expiry date are confirmed with the order. Keep renewal enabled or renew before that date to maintain control.
How do I transfer a .bz domain to host.yt?
Disable the domain’s transfer lock or other transfer protection at your current registrar, obtain the authorization code, and provide it with your transfer order to host.yt. The process may take several days. Once completed, one year is added to the domain’s current expiry date.
