Trends & General Information

The .be domain is registered as the official Internet country code top-level domain of Belgium. Already since August 1988 interested webmasters all around the world are allowed to buy and register their personal .be domains - so the extension is one of the oldest top-level domains in the world. Since the year 2000, registered domains are managed by non-profit Belgian company "DNS BE", originally it was a task of the "University of Leuven".

You are allowed to buy and register .be domains only at the second level, third-level domains are reserved for special groups and sectors within Belgium.

Benefits

Especially Belgian companies and individuals buy and register the personal .be domain, to underline a cultural, economic or ethnic connection to Belgium and its public. Because every interested webmaster in the world is able to register and buy his own .be domain, many orders from the European and American countries were recorded: The well-known video platform YouTube for example uses a .be domain for the URL-shortening service youtu.be - also some companies in the canton of Bern, Switzerland put on the .be domain.

Please make sure that your desired .be domain meets the following requirements: While choosing your domain name, please use between 3 and 63 characters, special characters are unfortunately not permitted, but you are allowed to buy and register pure numeric domains. As alternative domains our suggestions include the Austrian domain. at, the country-specific top level domain Germany .de and the Swedish domain extension .se.
