About .be domain name
Usage
.be is the top-level domain for Belgium. For a small country like Belgium, it's quite a popular domain. For any business targeting the Belgian market, it's a great idea to register a .be domain name.
.be domains can be registered worldwide. About 20% of active .be domains are registered by Dutch registrars. However, the main audience for .be domains is the Belgian public. It's an audience you can best reach with your own .be domain.
History
For the general public, .be is a relatively young extension. It wasn't until 2000 that the domain was opened for registration. That year, the management of the domain was transferred to the non-profit organization DNS Belgium, after being managed by the Catholic University of Leuven since its launch in 1989.
In the last months of 2005, DNS offered a promotion where you could register a .be domain completely free of charge. This promotion doubled the number of registered .be domains.
In April 2009, the 900,000th .be domain name, https://artchaud.be, was registered by the artist Geert Opsomer.
In 2009, it was announced that the Flemish government has plans to start a three-letter extension specifically for Flanders. This extension will likely be .vla, .vln, or .fln. So, .be might soon have a little sibling.

Important notes
- Domain names must be between 2 and 63 characters long.
- When registering, a verification email is sent to the domain owner, which can only be resent once.
- If the registrant can't find or accidentally deleted an email from the BE registry, they can contact the registry directly at verification@dnsbelgium.be.
- Using incorrect information may lead the registry to suspend the domain registration until the correct documents are received.

Everything you need to know.
How do I transfer my domain name to my.host?

Log in to the control panel, search for your domain name and click transfer. Then enter the transfer code and check out. For .nl domains the transfer is immediate; for extensions such as .com, .net and .info it can take up to 5 days.

When you've just ordered a domain name or hosting, you naturally want to get started right away. A domain name is registered immediately after your order. In most cases your domain name is actually active within a few hours. For some extensions it can take a little longer, 24 to 48 hours.
Read the full articleWhat is a premium domain name?
A premium domain name is a domain name that is worth considerably more than a non-generic domain name. That's why it's called Premium. Premium domain names come in two variants:
- Domain names from older extensions with a very good generic name, such as auto.nl or candy.com, that have been registered for many years. Because these domain names have already built up a lot of 'value' and are very generic, they're worth much more money in a sale than a non-generic domain name.
- New gTLD domain names, involving a very generic name or company name that isn't registered yet but is expected to gain a lot of value. The registration price of these domain names can run up to several thousand euros. Examples of such premium domain names are gold.watch or healthy.club.
