Doing business with Botswana, or planning to? A .bw domain gives your Zimbabwean business a Botswana web address that local customers, partners and tender boards recognise. Weblogic has registered Botswana domains since 2006, and we now register .bw domains for Zimbabwe businesses in US dollars.
Who a .bw domain is for
- Zimbabwean companies that trade into Botswana or have a Botswana branch
- Exporters, transporters and service companies with Botswana customers
- Businesses bidding for work in Botswana that want a local-looking web address and email
Already have a .co.zw domain? Keep it. Many businesses run both, with each country’s domain pointing to the right version of their website.
Which .bw extension to choose
Most businesses register a .co.bw domain, the extension for commercial entities. Non-profit organisations use .org.bw. Tell us about your business and we’ll confirm the right extension and what the registry needs from you before you pay.
How to register a .bw domain from Zimbabwe
- Search for your name on our self-service portal at domains.weblogic.co.bw.
- Choose the term: one to three years.
- Enter accurate registrant details for your business.
- Pay in US dollars: a .bw domain costs US$33 a year for non-residents. Pay by card or PayPal, or arrange cash on enquiry.
If Weblogic builds your website, the first year of your .bw domain is free.
Renewals: don’t lose your name
.bw domains are not renewed automatically unless your registrar sets it up. Under the .bw domain life-cycle policy you can renew up to 120 days before expiry. After expiry the domain is suspended, so your website and email stop working, and after roughly five weeks the name is released for anyone to register. Register for more than one year and keep your renewal contact details current.
Hosting and email for your .bw domain
Weblogic hosts websites and business email for Zimbabwe businesses from US$45 a year, with daily off-site backups and malware scanning. See our hosting plans, or get a quote for a website with a free .bw domain.
