.bi registration
.bi is Burundi’s country-code domain extension. It suits businesses, organizations, public initiatives, and personal projects that want a clear connection with Burundi. It can also support short brand names or memorable links built around the letters “bi,” provided the chosen name is available. Registration follows a first-come, first-served model, with no special registration procedure. A .bi name may contain between 1 and 63 characters. Before ordering through host.yt, check the spelling carefully and confirm that the name does not conflict with third-party rights or applicable law. To transfer an existing .bi domain to host.yt, first disable any transfer protection at the current registrar and request the domain’s authorization code. Submit that code with the transfer order. The process can take several days, and one year is added to the domain’s existing expiry date when the transfer is completed. Changing the domain holder requires authentication by both parties. Validation emails are sent to the current holder and the future holder, and each must complete the requested confirmation. The request is cancelled if the process is not completed within five days. A holder change does not alter the domain’s expiry date.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .bi extension stand for?
bi is the country-code top-level domain assigned to Burundi. It signals a connection with the country and can be used by businesses, organizations, services, and individuals addressing Burundian audiences. Its short form may also suit brands whose names or campaigns naturally include the letters “bi.”
Who can register a .bi domain?
bi registrations are available on a first-come, first-served basis without a special eligibility procedure. If the requested name is available, it can be submitted for registration. Applicants should still ensure that their chosen domain respects applicable law and does not infringe trademarks or other third-party rights.
Are there restrictions or required documents for registering .bi?
No special registration procedure or supporting-document requirement applies to a standard .bi registration. The requested label must contain between 1 and 63 characters and be available when the order is processed. General legal obligations, including respect for trademarks and third-party rights, continue to apply.
Is .bi a good choice, and what projects suit it?
bi is a practical choice for projects connected with Burundi, including local companies, institutions, community initiatives, tourism services, and region-focused publications. It also works for concise brand names built around “bi.” Its main value is the immediate geographic signal it gives visitors.
When does .bi make more sense than .com?
bi makes more sense when a project primarily serves Burundi or wants a distinct Burundian identity. .com is usually clearer for a broad international commercial audience and is more widely recognized. Choose .bi for geographic relevance and local positioning; choose .com when global familiarity is the stronger priority.
How quickly is a .bi domain registered, and how long does it last?
A registration request can be submitted once the chosen .bi name passes the availability check. Completion depends on registry processing, so host.yt confirms the result after the order is handled. The applicable registration term and renewal options are displayed during checkout, allowing you to review them before payment.
How do I transfer a .bi domain to host.yt?
Disable transfer protection at your current registrar and obtain the domain’s authorization code. Enter that code when placing the transfer order with host.yt. A .bi transfer may take several days to complete. Once finalized, one year is added to the domain’s current expiry date.
