Questions before you register or transfer a .BS?
Confirm .BS eligibility, registration handling, DNS setup, renewals, transfers, bulk management, and reseller support before continuing.
What is a .BS domain?
.BS is the country-code top-level domain for The Bahamas and is used by businesses, organizations, services, and projects connected with the country.
Who can register a .BS domain?

Who should consider a .BS domain?
It suits tourism, hospitality, financial services, local businesses, organizations, property projects, directories, and brands serving Bahamian customers.
How do I check a .BS name?
Enter your preferred label and use the .BS domain search to confirm current availability before placing an order.
Is .BS registration completed instantly?
Some .BS orders may require additional registry or registrar processing, so registration is confirmed only after the domain becomes active in your account.

Confirm the domain status, holder details, transfer authorization, current registrar process, and nameservers, then review the NiceNIC transfer page.

Can resellers automate .BS workflows?
NiceNIC reseller accounts and API v2 can support availability, registration, renewal, transfer, and portfolio operations where .BS automation is enabled.
