.bg is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Bulgaria. The domain was first introduced in 1995 and is run by Register.BG.
Registrations are restricted to use within Bulgaria. To register a .bg domain, you must be a resident, run a company based and operating in Bulgaria or have a local representative in the country. For commercial use, the domain name must represent the company or its abbreviation. It is general practice in Bulgaria to register a name as a trademark to be able to use it as a domain.
Until mid way through 2006 to register a domain would cost a one off fee of 50USD plus a further 50USD per year resulting in a total cost of 120USD after VAT. This was a very high cost for locals and as a result, many Bulgarian sites were registered under .com, .net or .org domains as the charges for these domains were significantly cheaper.
As a result, in August 2008 Register.BG changed their procedures making the process much easier without needing to provide company names and trademarks for registrations. These measures allowed the cost of registering a domain to be significantly reduced and led to a rise in popularity of the .bg domain in Bulgaria.
Register.BG released a range of domains under the .bg top-level domain in September 2006, which are much easier to register and available at a lower cost than what was previously available. These domains have been mainly targeted at individuals.

From 5th September 2009, Register.BG introduced a new service allowing .bg domains to be registered as Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs). These IDNs may use only letters found in the Cyrillic alphabet, using at least one letter that can be visually distinguished from the Latin alphabet. The Cyrillic alphabet uses letters only found in the Bulgarian alphabet.
