What is .bd?
A little context on Bangladesh: the capital is Dhaka, the main language is Bengali, the currency is the Bangladeshi taka (BDT) and the international dialing code is +880.
Next door on the map, you'll find .mm for Myanmar and .in for India.
IANA lists Posts and Telecommunications Division as the manager of .bd, with an address in Bangladesh. The registry's website is https://bdia.btcl.com.bd. ccTLD managers set their own policies — who can register, which second-level names exist, pricing to registrars — so those rules differ from country to country.
Under the hood, the root zone points to 4 name servers for .bd, every one of them reachable over IPv6. The delegation is DNSSEC-signed, so resolvers can verify that answers for .bd haven't been tampered with on the way.
Bangladesh also has another country-code domain in the root zone: .বাংলা (Bangla).
