Questions before you register or transfer a .BY?

Practical answers about Belarus market use, non-resident registration, naming rules, contact details, DNS, restoration, and portfolio planning.

What does the .BY domain represent?

.BY is the country-code top-level domain for Belarus. It is widely used by businesses, organizations, services, and projects that want a recognizable Belarus-focused web address.

Can a non-resident register a .BY domain?

The official registry reports thousands of .BY and .БЕЛ names held by non-residents from more than 100 countries. Customers can check a chosen name in the registration section, while final acceptance remains subject to registry and registrar requirements.

What characters and length can a .BY name use?

Official registry guidance allows 2–63 characters using Latin letters, numbers, and hyphens. A name cannot begin or end with a hyphen and must follow the registry’s hyphen-position rules.

How is a .BY domain registered?

Choose an accredited registrar, check availability, submit accurate registrant details, and complete payment. The registry notes that a requested name can remain available to others until payment is accepted.

Why is an active email address important for .BY?

The official registry instructs registrants to provide a current email address because domain-status information and other important notices are sent electronically.

How do I connect a .BY domain to hosting?

Add the nameservers supplied by your hosting provider in the domain control panel. The official registry notes that DNS changes may take up to a day to become visible everywhere.

Can I transfer a .BY domain to NiceNIC?

.BY transfer procedures can differ from standard gTLD transfers. Review eligibility and ownership details, then contact the NiceNIC transfer team before starting.

Can an expired .BY domain be restored?

Official registry guidance provides a 10-calendar-day period after annulment during which the previous holder may apply to register the name again, subject to matching holder information and the required process.

Can I search several Belarus-focused names together?

Yes. Use the bulk search section for company names, transliterations, product names, local campaigns, and defensive registrations.

Secure the .BY name before someone else does.

Register a new .BY, transfer an existing domain, or upgrade your account level for bulk registration and reseller API use.
