What is a .be domain?

The .be domain is the country code extension of Belgium, managed by DNS Belgium, the non-profit organisation based in Leuven that runs the Belgian registry. Besides .be, DNS Belgium also manages the regional extensions .brussels and .vlaanderen.

Belgium has three official languages (Dutch, French and German), and .be is a neutral extension that suits every language community in the country. Belgian customers trust local addresses. Registration is open to registrants in any country, so you can hold a .be without being established in Belgium. With Brussels at the heart of the European institutions, the extension is also used by many international organisations.

Questions about .be domains

Can I register a .be from outside Belgium?

Yes. DNS Belgium allows individuals and companies from any country to register .be domains, with no Belgian office or address. Contact details must be genuine and complete, because the registry can verify the registrant and suspend domains with incorrect information.

Which language should my Belgian site use?

Belgium has three official languages. Flanders speaks Dutch, Wallonia speaks French, Brussels is bilingual, and there is a small German speaking community in the east. For most businesses, a site in Dutch and French reaches nearly every customer. English helps with the international audience in Brussels.

What are .brussels and .vlaanderen?

They are regional extensions, also managed by DNS Belgium: .brussels for the capital region and .vlaanderen for Flanders. They suit businesses with a strong local identity. For a national presence, .be remains the main choice.

How do I launch my site on .be?

Add a cloud server with WordPress and a multilingual plugin installed in one click, then connect the domain in the free DNS editor. Renewals are taken automatically from your prepaid credit, so the domain stays active.

How much does a .be domain cost?

Registering a .be domain costs €10.50 for the first year and €18.98 for each renewal, VAT excluded, paid from your account credit. There is no setup fee and DNS hosting is included.

For how long can I register a .be domain?

You can register a .be domain for 1 to 1 years at once. After that it renews automatically from your credit a month before expiry, and you get an email if your credit is short.

Can I transfer my .be domain to cloudlinux.ro?

Yes. Transferring a .be domain costs €10.50 and normally adds a year to its expiry. Unlock the domain at your current registrar, get the transfer code and start the transfer from the Domains section of your console.

Can I host a website on my .be domain with you?

Yes. Launch a cloud server billed by the hour, pick a one-click app such as WordPress, Ghost or Nextcloud, and point your .be domain to it from the DNS editor. The domain also works with any server you run elsewhere.
