.bs is the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the Bahamas.
It is administered by BSNIC and registrations are processed via accredited registrars. BSNIC are responsible for registrations of the ccTLD ".bs" and they do not require applicants to have a physical presence in the Bahamas. The ".bs" Domain Name Space are divided into these third-levels domains:
| .com.bs | Commercial entities |
| .net.bs | |
| .org.bs | Organisations and charities |
| .edu.bs | Reserved for Bahamian educational institutions and educational institutions with presence in the Bahamas |
| .gov.bs | Reserved for Bahamas Government agencies and ministries. |
No three letter names can be registered under the ccTLD ".bs". This prevents names like "com.bs", "org.bs", "edu.bs", "gov.bs" and all other three letter country code names listed in ISO-3166 to be registered. The same goes for all one-character domains (e.g. [a-z].bs) and two-character domains. All new second and third-level domain requests made to BSNIC shall conform to the rules applying at the time of registration.
The following characters are allowed in a ".bs" domain name:
• It is possible to use all the numbers (0-9), letters (a-z) ASCII and the hyphen (-).
• A domain name cannot begin or end with a hyphen (-)
• Two hyphens (-) cannot follow each other
Please note that there shall be at least two name servers for the domain operating at the time the request is submitted. There is no restriction on the IP address of these name servers, but they must be reachable on the Internet at the time of application.
• Registration and maintenance invoices are e-mailed to the billing address that is provided by the applicant.
• Domains are activated upon receipt of payment.
• All changes in the information regarding the domain application are free of charge except for changes to the domain name.
• All billing and account questions should be sent to the BSNIC Billing administrator at BSadmin@cob.edu.bs
