Domains (.BW)
BOCRA coordinates .BW domain request intake and routes requests to accredited registrars. Find a registrar, review policies, or start an assisted request.
BOCRA's role: intake and coordination, not direct registration
BOCRA does not sell or renew .BW domains directly. BOCRA reviews and routes requests to accredited registrars, provides dispute intake, and maintains policy oversight for the .BW namespace. To register or manage a domain, contact an accredited registrar or use this portal to start an assisted request.
