What is a .bz domain?
.bz is the country-code top-level domain of Belize, managed by the University of Belize in Belmopan and run day to day as BelizeNIC. It has existed since 3 September 1991, decades before most new gTLDs, and its IANA record lists University Management Ltd in Belize City as both administrative and technical contact.
Although it is a national code, .bz is sold to registrants anywhere. Resellers have long promoted it as shorthand for “business”, which is why most .bz sites have no Belize connection at all.
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| Category | Country-code TLD (Belize) |
| Manager | University of Belize, Belmopan |
| Admin and technical contact | University Management Ltd, Belize City |
| In service since | 3 September 1991 |
| Registry website | belizenic.bz |
| DNSSEC | Signed (secure delegation) |
Who registers a .bz domain from India?
Indian .bz buyers are mostly people chasing a short, two-letter ending when the .com and .biz versions of their name are gone. It also suits the small group of businesses with genuine Belize or Caribbean links.
| Use | Example | Why .bz |
|---|---|---|
| Short redirect for print and packaging | chai.bz → main site | Two letters after the dot fit a label or QR caption |
| Trading firm with “biz” in its pitch | exportdesk.bz | Reads as business to buyers who know the convention |
| Travel agent selling Central America trips | belizetours.bz | The country code matches the destination |
| Defensive registration of a brand | yourbrand.bz | Stops a look-alike of your .biz name |
If the visitor might read the ending as Belize and lose trust, a .biz or Indian .in address is clearer.
How much does a .bz domain cost in India?

Prices read from WebJi® billing on 4 November 2026. Registry-premium .bz names are quoted before payment.
Do you need a Belize address to register .bz?
No. BelizeNIC applies no residency, citizenship or company test, so an Indian individual or firm registers .bz with Indian contact details. Names are allocated first-come, first-served, and no documents are requested at order time.
- Registrant data: enter it exactly as it should appear in the registry record.
- Locks: as a ccTLD, .bz follows its own registry lock rules after registration or transfer rather than ICANN’s 60-day policy for .com.
- Premium names: short or common words may carry a registry premium, shown before payment.
- Invoice: INR with 18% GST; add a GSTIN only for input credit.
.bz vs .biz — which one means business?
.biz is the extension actually created for business use and costs less to keep (₹2,416 renewal against ₹3,389); .bz is a Belize code that only borrows the meaning. Choose .bz when the shorter ending is the point or the .biz name is taken. Search engines treat both as neutral for Indian rankings; neither gives a local boost the way .in does.
A practical pattern is to keep the main site on .in or .com and point the .bz name at it with a redirect. Several similar names can be ordered together through bulk domain registration.
After registering a .bz domain
A .bz name works with any host and email service once its nameservers are set. Use shared hosting from ₹299 a month for a small site, or add a redirect record if it is a short alias. Read domain transfer before moving an existing .bz name, and keep auto-renew on.
Frequently asked questions
Which country does .bz belong to?
Belize, the Central American country on the Caribbean coast. IANA lists the University of Belize in Belmopan as the manager of the .bz code, which has been in service since 3 September 1991.
Will Indian customers think a .bz site is foreign?
Some may. Most Indian visitors do not recognise .bz as Belize, but it does not signal India either. For a site that sells mainly to Indian buyers, use .in as the main address and keep .bz as a redirect.
What does a .bz domain cost for three years?
₹9,580 before 18% GST at WebJi®: ₹2,802 for the first year and ₹3,389 for each of the next two renewal years, at prices read on 4 November 2026.
Can I move my .bz domain to WebJi® from another registrar?
Yes. Get the authorisation code from the current registrar, unlock the name and place a transfer order, billed at ₹2,802 before GST. Check that no registry lock from a recent registration or transfer is still active.
Is the .bz zone DNSSEC-signed?
Yes. IANA shows a secure delegation for .bz with published DS records, so DNSSEC can be enabled on your own name when your DNS provider supports it.
