Bhutan is currently the administrative and technical contact for Bhutan Network
Information Center (btnic) for the .com.bt, .net.bt, .org.bt, .gov.bt, and .edu.bt third-
level domains. Bhutan accepts applications to register and renew domain names with
.com.bt, .net.bt, .org.bt, .gov.bt, and .edu.bt third-level domains in Roman-alphabets.The
minimum number of characters accepted for domain name is three.


Upon accepting your application to register or renew a domain name with a .com.bt,
.net.bt, .org.bt, .gov.bt, and .edu.bt third-level domain, Bhutan essentially acts as your
administrative and technical contact for that domain. The registration and renewal
applications is not effective until the domain name registration or renewal information
you provide us is paid at the Bhutan counter for the  .com.bt, .net.bt, .org.bt, .gov.bt, and
.edu.bt third-level domain and puts into effect your domain name registration or renewal.

No Guarantee of Registration or Renewal

You acknowledge and agree that Bhutan does not guarantee that you will be able to
register or renew a desired domain name, even if an inquiry indicates that domain name is
available, since Bhutan cannot know with certainty whether or not the domain name
you are seeking is simultaneously being sought by a third party, or whether there are any
inaccuracies or errors in the domain name registration or renewal process or related
databases, including the WHOIS database. You further acknowledge and agree that
Bhutan may elect to accept or reject your application for registration or renewal for any
reason at its sole discretion, such rejection including, but not limited to, rejection due to a
request for registration or renewal of a prohibited domain name. You also acknowledge
and agree that Bhutan is not liable or responsible in any way for any errors, omissions
