Only natural persons who are Bahraini citizens or residents are eligible to register a .name.bh domain. Applicants must provide a Bahraini passport or Bahrain ID card.
03. Do I need to provide identification to register a .name.bh domain?
Yes. Applicants must submit either a Bahraini passport or Bahrain ID card to verify their eligibility. The registration process is subject to the Bahrain Domain Registry's requirements.
04. Can I register any name with a .name.bh domain?
No. The requested domain name must be relevant to the applicant's personal name. The Bahrain Domain Registry may reject names that do not meet its naming and registration requirements.
05. Can foreigners register a .name.bh domain?
Foreign nationals can register a .name.bh domain if they are residents of Bahrain and meet the registry's identification requirements. Applicants must provide a valid Bahraini ID card or Bahraini passport.
06. How long can I register a .name.bh domain?
A .name.bh domain can be registered for periods ranging from 1 to 5 years. You can renew it before expiration to maintain your personal online identity.
07. Can I use a .name.bh domain for a personal website?
Yes. The .name.bh extension is intended for individual use and is suitable for personal websites, online portfolios, blogs, biographies, and professional profiles.
08. Does .name.bh support WHOIS privacy?
The Bahrain Domain Registry redacts WHOIS information by default unless the domain owner enables the disclosure option. This helps limit the public visibility of registrant information.
09. Does .name.bh support internationalized domain names (IDNs)?
Specific IDN support for the .name.bh category has not been confirmed. Although Bahrain supports internationalized domain names under its domain namespace, check with your registrar for the characters permitted under .name.bh.
10. Can I transfer my .name.bh domain to another registrar?
Yes. You can transfer your .name.bh domain to another accredited registrar that supports the extension. The process requires an authorisation code, and the new registrar must verify that you continue to meet the eligibility requirements.
11. Does a .name.bh domain help with SEO?
A .name.bh domain can help establish your personal identity and connection with Bahrain. It can make your website address relevant to a local audience, but the extension alone does not guarantee higher search rankings. Quality content and effective SEO practices remain important.
12. What happens when my .name.bh domain expires?
After expiration, your .name.bh domain remains active for 45 days during the renewal period. If it is not renewed, it becomes deactivated, and you have another 30 days to request retrieval. After that period, the domain is deleted following an additional five-day period.
13. Can I restore my .name.bh domain after expiration?
Yes. You can request retrieval within 30 days after the initial 45-day renewal period. You must contact your accredited registrar, pay the applicable registration and retrieval fees, and continue to meet the eligibility requirements.
